The United States has been one entity since the Constitution was ratified. However, the territory it controls has undergone dramatic changes. We need one URI for the United States as a nation. We need a separate, distinct URI for its current territorial boundaries. My understanding is GAZ has the URI for the territory. We created a URI for the nation.

Nations declare war, you are located in geographical regions, but the two are different entities (nation vs. its territory).

There a couple of issues with the OWL version of GAZ, we can follow up on the obo-envo list, you can subscribe here: https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/obo-envo On Dec 12, 2012, at 8:17 AM, Hogan, William R wrote: 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.
