[OpenCyc-devel] Geography Mt hierarchy - questions

[Jonas L. <jo...@ri...>]

There should be a previous post with a graph I made.


Is this correct?

 - Countries in WorldPoliticalGeographyDataVocabularyMt

 - Information about gouvenment in WorldPoliticalGeographyDataMt

 - The placement of the country on the globe in WorldGeographyDualistMt

 - geopoliticalSubdivision (City in County) in WorldGeographyDualistMt

 - GeopoliticalEntity (City) in WorldPoliticalGeographyDataVocabularyMt

 - The placement of region in country in WorldGeographyDualistMt

 - The placement of subregion in region in WorldNaturalGeographyMt
   (Names of regions with no political significance)


My project involves geographic regions in Sweden, Norwey, Denmark, Finland,=
 Iceland.

How should I construct the additional Mt's for defining new vocabulary
(types of GeopoliticalEntity specific for a country) and their data?

It looks a bit unbalanced to have a special Mt for
UnitedStatesGeography.  Should I create one Mt fore each country for
which I plan to add a lot of geography data?


That wold be 6 (or more) Mt's for each country, wouldn't it?

 1. SwedenPoliticalGeographyDataVocabularyMt

 2. SwedenPoliticalGeographyMt

 3. SwedenNaturalGeographyVocabularyMt

 4. SwedenNaturalGeographyMt

 5. SwedenGeographyMt

 6. SwedenGeographyDualistMt


It's actualy probable that the types of regions differ from country to
country.  In Sweden we have losly speaking two types of Cities and two
types of Conties.  They each constitute a diffrent way to divide the
country into parts.


Is it a good thing to keep down the datasize for a Mt?
