- Introduced BirthDate class with support for EDTF notation, provenance tracking, and confidence scoring. - Added BirthPlace class to preserve historical names, link modern equivalents, and integrate geographic identifiers. - Created Approximation Level slot to express uncertainty levels for various values. - Migrated existing slots to structured classes for better data modeling, including has_or_had_date_of_birth and has_or_had_place_of_birth. - Enhanced service area representation with has_or_had_service_area slot, linking to ServiceArea class. - Updated is_or_was_approximate slot to model uncertainty levels using ApproximationStatus class. - Archived previous versions of slots for historical reference.

|
|
description: >-
|
|
Structured representation of a person's place of birth with support
|
|
for historical place names, modern equivalents, and geographic identifiers.
|
|
|
|
**PURPOSE**:
|
|
|
|
BirthPlace replaces simple string birth_place slots to provide:
|
|
- Historical place name preservation
|
|
- Modern place name linkage
|
|
- Geographic identifier integration (GeoNames, Wikidata)
|
|
- Coordinate storage for mapping applications
|
|
|
|
**HISTORICAL VS. MODERN NAMES**:
|
|
|
|
Many birth places used historical names that have since changed:
|
|
- "Batavia" → "Jakarta"
|
|
- "Bombay" → "Mumbai"
|
|
- "Leningrad" → "St. Petersburg"
|
|
- "Saigon" → "Ho Chi Minh City"
|
|
|
|
BirthPlace preserves the source name while linking to modern identifiers.
|
|
|
|
**GEOGRAPHIC RESOLUTION**:
|
|
|
|
Per AGENTS.md Rule on GeoNames as authoritative source:
|
|
- `geonames_id`: Links to GeoNames for standardization
|
|
- `wikidata_id`: Links to Wikidata for additional context
|
|
- `coordinates`: Lat/lon for mapping
|
