Re: [Obo-discuss] [obo-admin] OBO namespace ID and PURL

[Mathias B. <mbr...@gm...>]

I am forwarding the answer by Bill Hogan (sent via his UAMS account):

"If you're referring to GAZ, the difference is that we are referring to
geopolitical entities like nations, states etc. not the territory that they
control. I've received emails in the past, that explicitly state GAZ is
only talking about rocks, trees, hills, mountains, dirt, lakes, et cetera.
Not the nations that own them."

Best,
Mathias
