"The population density of France, as of an 2012 estimate, is 116 per square kilometer, according to the "Bilan demographique 2010"."
A wiki namespace-based approach is:
France has_subobject France#Density:2012_pop_estimate_Bilan_2010 France#Density:2012_pop_estimate_Bilan_2010 ^source "Bilan ...2010" France#Density:2012_pop_estimate_Bilan_2010 ^npkm2 116 France#Density:2012_pop_estimate_Bilan_2010 Type Estimated France#Density:2012_pop_estimate_Bilan_2010 ^date 2012
Key: France#Density:2012_pop_estimate_Bilan_2010 is a named subobject This subobject is so named to prevent subobject name collisions Subobject names follow pagename naming conventions has_subobject is a reserved property name Density is an instance in a Type (or, Noun) namespace All properties prefixed by ^ are text properties ^source and ^date are Dublin Core properties (both text properties) Type is a Dublin Core property (an object property) Estimated is an adjective treated as a subclass of owl:Class Estimated is an abbreviation of "Estimated Things" ^npkm2 is an SI unit (amount per sq km)
John,
thanks! I fully agree. And this is indeed pretty much what we have in our data model.* I think that we really need to get our draft mapping to RDF done, in order to show that we align pretty much with this suggestion.
Cheers, Denny
* well, we also add "density", but I think that is merely an oversight in your suggestion, and you forgot to add something like France#Density:2012_pop_estimate_Bilan_2010 property Density .
