  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.\nOntology mapping rationale: - class_uri is prov:Entity because this documents a merge operation\n  result with full provenance (source, date, reason)\n- close_mappings includes skos:note as this is essentially a note\n  documenting a change\n- related_mappings includes prov:Activity as merging is an activity\n  and prov:Derivation for the derivation relationship"
