kempersc 67657c39b6 feat: Complete Country Class Implementation and Hypernyms Removal
- 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.

# Quick Status: Country Class Implementation (2025-11-22)
## ✅ COMPLETE
### What Was Done
1. **Fixed Duplicate Keys in FeatureTypeEnum.yaml**
- Removed 2 duplicate entries (RESIDENTIAL_BUILDING, SANCTUARY)
- 294 unique feature types (validated ✅)
2. **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)
3. **Integrated Country with CustodianPlace**
- Added optional `country` slot
- Enables country-specific feature type validation
4. **Integrated Country with LegalForm**
- Changed `country_code` from string to Country class
- Enforces jurisdiction-specific legal forms
5. **Created Example File**
- `schemas/20251121/examples/country_integration_example.yaml`
- Shows Country → CustodianPlace → FeaturePlace integration
### Country Class Schema
```yaml
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)
1. **Country-Conditional Enum Validation** - Validate feature types against country restrictions
2. **Populate Country Instances** - Create all 249 ISO 3166-1 countries
3. **Link LegalForm to ISO 20275** - Populate 1,600+ legal forms across 150+ jurisdictions
4. **External Metadata Resolution** - Integrate GeoNames API for country names/metadata
