  MergeNote:
      description: >-
        Documentation of a merge operation between duplicate entries, recording
        the source entry identifier, merge date, and reason (e.g., duplicate
        Wikidata ID, same place ID). Essential for entity resolution audit
        trails.
        
        Ontology mapping rationale:
        - class_uri is prov:Entity because this documents a merge operation
          result with full provenance (source, date, reason)
        - close_mappings includes skos:note as this is essentially a note
          documenting a change
        - related_mappings includes prov:Activity as merging is an activity
          and prov:Derivation for the derivation relationship
      class_uri: prov:Entity
      close_mappings:
        - skos:note
      related_mappings:
        - prov:Activity
        - prov:Derivation
