| Key Enhancements |
- TOOI Ontology Integration - All 9 change event types now map to Dutch Government ontology classes:
- FOUNDING → tooi:Oprichting
- DISSOLUTION → tooi:Opheffing
- MERGER → tooi:Samenvoeging
- SPLIT → tooi:Opsplitsing
- SPIN_OFF → tooi:Afsplitsing
- EXPANSION → tooi:Uitbreiding
- REORGANIZATION → tooi:Herschikking
- State changes → tooi:Toestandswijziging
- PROV-O Property Annotations - Each event type documented with:
- prov:generated - entities created
- prov:invalidated - entities dissolved
- prov:used - entities that continue
- Real Examples - 8 Dutch heritage institution scenarios (Rijksmuseum, KB, Stadsarchief Amsterdam, etc.) ▣ Build · claude-opus-4.5 · 58.2s Also connect it to @schemas/20251121/linkml/modules/classes/CustodianPlace.yaml in a similar way as place references are connected to changin organisations in @data/ontology/tooiont.ttl. Again note that the @schemas/20251121/linkml/modules/classes/CustodianPlace.yaml differs form the geospatial Place, which is based on coordinates and geospatial projections and geoshapes like polygones. We need to create the latter class and add in to @schemas/20251121/linkml/modules/classes/ .

Now I understand the structure. Looking at the TOOI ontology, I can see:
tooi:BestuurlijkeRuimte(Administrative Space) - is ageosparql:Featureandprov:Entitywithgeosparql:hasGeometrypointing togeosparql:Geometrytooi:RegistratieveRuimteandtooi:JuridischeRuimteare subtypes ofBestuurlijkeRuimte
The key insight is that TOOI uses GeoSPARQL for geospatial representation. Let me create the GeoSpatialPlace class and update CustodianPlace to reference it.

Summary of Current Session
What We Did
- Created GeoSpatialPlace.yaml - A new LinkML class for geospatial locations with coordinates and geometry, following the TOOI ontology pattern:
- Based on
geosparql:Feature(like TOOI'sBestuurlijkeRuimte) - Includes WGS84 coordinates (lat/lon), WKT geometry, GeoNames/OSM IDs
- Supports temporal validity for boundary changes (
valid_from_geo/valid_to_geo) - Clear distinction from
CustodianPlace(nominal reference vs. measured coordinates)
- Based on

Files Read (For Context)
CustodianPlace.yaml- Nominal place references (NOT coordinates)tooiont.ttl- TOOI ontology showingBestuurlijkeRuimte→geosparql:FeaturepatternOrganizationalChangeEvent.yaml- Change events needing place linkageTimeSpan.yaml- Temporal pattern reference
What's Still Pending (from TODO list)
- ✅ DONE: Create GeoSpatialPlace.yaml
- ⏳ PENDING: Update CustodianPlace.yaml to link to GeoSpatialPlace (add
has_geospatial_locationslot) - ⏳ PENDING: Connect OrganizationalChangeEvent to place references (like TOOI pattern)
- ⏳ PENDING: Create integration documentation
Key Design Decisions
- TOOI Alignment: Followed Dutch government ontology pattern where administrative spaces are
geosparql:Featuresubclasses - Separation of Concerns:
CustodianPlace= "het herenhuis in de Schilderswijk" (emic/nominal)GeoSpatialPlace= lat: 52.0705, lon: 4.2894 (measured/precise)
- External Linking: GeoNames ID, OSM ID, Cadastral ID for disambiguation
Next Steps
- Add
has_geospatial_locationslot toCustodianPlace.yamllinking toGeoSpatialPlace - Add place-related slots to
OrganizationalChangeEvent.yaml(event location, affected territories) - Create integration documentation showing the CustodianPlace ↔ GeoSpatialPlace ↔ OrganizationalChangeEvent flow

OrganizationalChangeEvent
├── event_location → CustodianPlace (where event occurred)
├── from_location → CustodianPlace (RELOCATION origin)
├── to_location → CustodianPlace (RELOCATION destination)
└── affected_territory → GeoSpatialPlace (jurisdictions/boundaries)
CustodianPlace (nominal: "Rijksmuseum")

Key Design Decisions
- TOOI Alignment: Followed Dutch government ontology pattern (
BestuurlijkeRuimte→geosparql:Feature) - Separation of Concerns: CustodianPlace = emic names, GeoSpatialPlace = measured coordinates
- CIDOC-CRM Mapping: Used
crm:P7_took_place_at,crm:P26_moved_to,crm:P27_moved_from - Temporal Support: Both classes support validity periods for tracking boundary/name changes

The @schemas/20251121/linkml/modules/classes/GeoSpatialPlace.yaml should also be linked to the @schemas/20251121/linkml/modules/classes/AuxiliaryPlace.yaml . Use appriopriate properties and classes for this from @data/ontology/
Assistant
I'll look at the relevant ontologies to find appropriate properties for linking AuxiliaryPlace to GeoSpatialPlace. Let me check the W3C Location ontology (locn), GeoSPARQL, and the org ontology since AuxiliaryPlace is based on org:Site.
Tool: bash
Tool: bash
Tool: bash
Assistant
Now let me check the TOOI ontology for their pattern of linking sites to geometry, and also check the W3C locn (location) vocabulary:
Tool: bash
Tool: bash
Assistant
Let me check the vcard and locn ontologies more specifically:
Tool: bash
Tool: read
Assistant
Now I have a clear picture. The appropriate property to use is geosparql:hasGeometry (or a subproperty like locn:geometry). Let me also check the W3C locn (Location Core Vocabulary) which is commonly used with org:Site:
Tool: bash
Assistant
Tool: read
Assistant
Based on my analysis of the ontologies, I can now see the best approach:
- W3C Org (
org.rdf):org:siteAddresscan include geo-location information - GeoSPARQL (
geo.ttl):geosparql:hasGeometrylinks Feature to Geometry - this is the standard for spatial data - TOOI (
tooiont.ttl): Usesgeosparql:hasGeometryviatooi:BestuurlijkeRuimte-hasGeometry - vCard (
vcard.rdf): Has deprecatedvcard:latitude/vcard:longitude, recommendsvcard:hasGeo
The most appropriate property is locn:geometry (from W3C Location Core Vocabulary) which is designed specifically for linking addresses/locations to geometry. It's compatible with org:Site and aligns with geosparql:hasGeometry.
Now let me update both files:
Tool: todowrite
Assistant
Now let me update AuxiliaryPlace.yaml to add the link to GeoSpatialPlace:
Tool: edit
Assistant
Now add the locn prefix for the geometry property:

Architecture Summary
The GeoSpatialPlace integration is now complete across three place-related classes:
OrganizationalChangeEvent
├── event_location → CustodianPlace
├── from_location → CustodianPlace (RELOCATION)
├── to_location → CustodianPlace (RELOCATION)
└── affected_territory → GeoSpatialPlace (jurisdictions/boundaries)
CustodianPlace (main/primary place)
├── has_geospatial_location → GeoSpatialPlace
└── auxiliary_places → AuxiliaryPlace[]
└── has_geospatial_location → GeoSpatialPlace
GeoSpatialPlace (geosparql:Feature)
├── latitude, longitude (WGS84)
├── geometry_wkt (POLYGON, MULTIPOLYGON, etc.)
├── geonames_id, osm_id (external linking)
└── valid_from_geo, valid_to_geo (temporal validity)
This enables:
- Mapping all custodian locations (primary + auxiliary sites)
- Spatial queries across entire organizational footprints
- Building footprints for storage depots and branch offices
- Historical boundary tracking with temporal validity
