- Created the Country class with ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 and alpha-3 codes, ensuring minimal design without additional metadata. - Integrated the Country class into CustodianPlace and LegalForm schemas to support country-specific feature types and legal forms. - Removed duplicate keys in FeatureTypeEnum.yaml, resulting in 294 unique feature types. - Eliminated "Hypernyms:" text from FeatureTypeEnum descriptions, verifying that semantic relationships are now conveyed through ontology mappings. - Created example instance file demonstrating integration of Country with CustodianPlace and LegalForm. - Updated documentation to reflect the completion of the Country class implementation and hypernyms removal.

✅ COMPLETE
What Was Done
-
Fixed Duplicate Keys in FeatureTypeEnum.yaml
- Removed 2 duplicate entries (RESIDENTIAL_BUILDING, SANCTUARY)
- 294 unique feature types (validated ✅)
-
Created Country Class
- File:
schemas/20251121/linkml/modules/classes/Country.yaml - Minimal design: ONLY ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 and alpha-3 codes
- No other metadata (names, languages, capitals)
- File:
-
Integrated Country with CustodianPlace
- Added optional
countryslot - Enables country-specific feature type validation
- Added optional
-
Integrated Country with LegalForm
- Changed
country_codefrom string to Country class - Enforces jurisdiction-specific legal forms

Created Example File
schemas/20251121/examples/country_integration_example.yaml- Shows Country → CustodianPlace → FeaturePlace integration
Country Class Schema
Country:
slots:
- alpha_2 # ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 (NL, PE, US)
- alpha_3 # ISO 3166-1 alpha-3 (NLD, PER, USA)
Examples:
- Netherlands:
alpha_2="NL",alpha_3="NLD" - Peru:
alpha_2="PE",alpha_3="PER"
Use Cases
Country-Specific Feature Types:
- CULTURAL_HERITAGE_OF_PERU (Q16617058) → Only valid for
country.alpha_2 = "PE" - BUITENPLAATS (Q2927789) → Only valid for
country.alpha_2 = "NL" - NATIONAL_MEMORIAL_OF_THE_UNITED_STATES (Q20010800) → Only valid for
country.alpha_2 = "US"
Legal Form Jurisdiction:
- Dutch Stichting (ELF 8888) →
country.alpha_2 = "NL" - German GmbH (ELF 8MBH) →
country.alpha_2 = "DE"
Next Steps (Future)
- Country-Conditional Enum Validation - Validate feature types against country restrictions
- Populate Country Instances - Create all 249 ISO 3166-1 countries
- Link LegalForm to ISO 20275 - Populate 1,600+ legal forms across 150+ jurisdictions
- External Metadata Resolution - Integrate GeoNames API for country names/metadata
