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

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

Files Created/Modified

Created:

  • schemas/20251121/linkml/modules/classes/Country.yaml
  • schemas/20251121/examples/country_integration_example.yaml
  • COUNTRY_CLASS_IMPLEMENTATION_COMPLETE.md

Modified:

  • schemas/20251121/linkml/modules/classes/CustodianPlace.yaml (added country slot)
  • schemas/20251121/linkml/modules/classes/LegalForm.yaml (changed country_code to Country class)
  • schemas/20251121/linkml/modules/enums/FeatureTypeEnum.yaml (removed duplicates)

Status: COMPLETE

Country class implementation is complete and integrated with:

  • CustodianPlace (place location)
  • LegalForm (legal jurisdiction)
  • FeatureTypeEnum (country-specific feature types)

Ready for next task!
