"2D 3D"

We can allow to specify coordinates for 3D objects using "coordinate" properties. d1g (talk) 15:27, 29 September 2017 (UTC)Reply

subclass edit

Removed subclass of (P279) of geographic location (Q2221906), because it's already subclass of (P279) of geographical feature (Q618123) that has characteristic (P1552) of geographic location (Q2221906) --Kanzat (talk) 05:48, 25 October 2021 (UTC)Reply

Not a geometric / mathematical object edit

@Infovarius:

A park is not a mathematical multiset, so I removed the subclass statements. Not sure how to put the statement back, I think we should create a property like « modelled by » to link real world objects to mathematical object that represents them like « described by » or « modelled by » if we don’t have such already (can’t think of any, studied by Search is for something else but close). I’ll put a message on the ontology project to gather input. author  TomT0m / talk page 15:40, 3 June 2022 (UTC)Reply

for a place to discuss this overall hierarchy and hopefully clarify it. JesseW (talk) 16:43, 31 July 2022 (UTC)Reply

Geographic region and geographic location edit

@Swpb: On 18 November 2023, you deprecated the claim geographic region (Q82794)subclass of (P279)geographic location (Q2221906) At least by the current English descriptions, that claim seems appropriate:

I was brought here because of a constraint violation that Kentucky (Q1603) isn't an instance of geographic location (Q2221906). What should be done? Also notifying @JesseW: for your efforts in this area. Daask (talk) 13:47, 26 March 2024 (UTC)Reply

The issue was a disjointness violation, where geographic region (Q82794) was a subclass of physical entity but geographic location (Q2221906) was a subclass of non-physical entity. I've resolved the violation in a more straightforward way. Swpb (talk) 14:28, 26 March 2024 (UTC)Reply
