# Module: hypernyms/geo.yaml
# Parent: entity_annotation_rules_v1.7.0_unified.yaml
# Purpose: GEOMETRY entity type - spatial coordinates and geometric representations
# =============================================================================
# NEW in v1.7.0: Separated from PLACE to distinguish nominal (toponyms)
# from geometric (coordinates) representations of space.
# Authority: GeoSPARQL, OGC Simple Features, ISO 19107 (geographic info)

GEOMETRY:
  code: "GEO"
  definition: |
    Geometric representations of spatial extent: coordinates, bounding boxes,
    polygons, and other spatial primitives. Geometries are MATHEMATICAL
    representations, distinct from nominal toponyms.
    
    Key distinction:
    - TOPONYM: "Amsterdam" (name in text)
    - GEOMETRY: "52.3676° N, 4.9041° E" (coordinates)
    
    Geometries may be:
    - Extracted from text (coordinate mentions)
    - Resolved from toponyms (geocoding)
    - Imported from GIS data (shapefiles, GeoJSON)    
  
  design_rationale: |
    GeoSPARQL (OGC standard) distinguishes:
    - geo:Feature: An entity with spatial extent (≈ crm:E53_Place)
    - geo:Geometry: A geometric representation of that extent
    
    A single Feature may have multiple Geometries:
    - Different precision levels
    - Different time periods (historical boundaries)
    - Different representations (point vs. polygon)
    
    This separation enables:
    - Linking toponyms to multiple coordinate systems
    - Representing uncertainty in historical geography
    - Integrating with GIS systems

  # SUBCATEGORIES
  # ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
  subcategories:
    POINT:
      code: "GEO.PNT"
      definition: "A single coordinate point (latitude/longitude)"
      examples:
        - "52.3676° N, 4.9041° E"
        - "52.3676, 4.9041"
        - "lat: 52.3676, lon: 4.9041"
        - "N 52° 22' 3.36\", E 4° 54' 14.76\""
      ontology_class: "sf:Point"
      alternative_classes:
        - "schema:GeoCoordinates"
      geosparql_wkt: "POINT(4.9041 52.3676)"
      note: |
        Points may appear in various formats:
        - Decimal degrees (DD): 52.3676, 4.9041
        - Degrees minutes seconds (DMS): N 52° 22' 3.36"
        - Signed decimal: 52.3676, 4.9041 (N/E positive)
        
        Normalize to WGS84 decimal degrees for storage.        
    
    BOX:
      code: "GEO.BOX"
      definition: "A bounding box (minimum bounding rectangle)"
      examples:
        - "bounding box: 52.0, 4.5, 53.0, 5.0"
        - "extent: SW 52.0, 4.5 to NE 53.0, 5.0"
      ontology_class: "geo:Geometry"
      alternative_classes:
        - "schema:GeoShape"
      geosparql_wkt: "ENVELOPE(4.5, 5.0, 53.0, 52.0)"
      note: |
        Bounding boxes define rectangular extents.
        Format conventions vary; normalize to: minLat, minLon, maxLat, maxLon.        
    
    POLYGON:
      code: "GEO.PLY"
      definition: "A closed polygon (administrative boundary, parcel)"
      examples:
        - "POLYGON((4.8 52.3, 4.9 52.3, 4.9 52.4, 4.8 52.4, 4.8 52.3))"
        - "GeoJSON polygon for Noord-Holland province"
      ontology_class: "sf:Polygon"
      geosparql_wkt: "POLYGON((...))"
      note: |
        Polygons are typically imported from GIS data, not extracted from
        natural language text. May appear in technical documentation.        
    
    LINE:
      code: "GEO.LIN"
      definition: "A line or path (route, river course, boundary segment)"
      examples:
        - "the route from Amsterdam to Rotterdam"
        - "LINESTRING(4.9 52.4, 4.5 51.9)"
      ontology_class: "sf:LineString"
      note: |
        Lines appear in route descriptions or boundary definitions.
        Less common in heritage text; more typical in geographic data.
