Description

Based on SUMO, http://reliant.teknowledge.com/DAML/SUMO.owl#Nation
SUO 1.55: July 14, 2003
The broadest &%GeopoliticalArea, i.e. &%Nations are
&%GeopoliticalAreas that are not part of any other overarching and
comprehensive governance structure (excepting commonwealths and other sorts
of loose international organizations).

Italy, Libya) are typically not instances of Nation, but rather
of Region (if the borders are indefinite) or of LandArea.

Usage

Instances of NTNames:Nation can have the following properties:

PROPERTYTYPEDESCRIPTIONRANGE

NTNames:LNID owl:DatatypeProperty Louw-Nida identifier, keying specific Greek terms (and their English translations) to their taxonomy of semantic domains. A string like "33.X'.439" identifies the term sumballo, which can be translated as "to express differences of opinion in a forceful way". In their scheme, this has domain index 33 (Communication), with sub-domain index X' (Dispute, Debate). The final integer index uniquely defines this term (but the same term may have multiple senses). The sub-domain index can be determined from the term index, but it seems helpful to include both. Note the possible values of the sub-domain index are A-Z, then A'-Z', etc. xsd:string
NTNames:antagonistOf owl:ObjectProperty "A person who opposes and contends against this person", similar to http://purl.org/vocab/relationship vocabulary, but with different domain and range. For clarity, <X antagonistOf Y> means X opposes, etc. Y, and also (by inference) <Y hasAntagonist X>. However, it does _not_ necessarily mean <Y antagonistOf X>, i.e. it is not necessarily reciprocal. owl:Thing
NTNames:enemyOf owl:ObjectProperty "A person towards whom this person feels hatred, intends injury to, or opposes the interests of", similar to http://purl.org/vocab/relationship vocabulary, but with different domain and range. For clarity, <X, enemyOf, Y> means X feels hatred, etc. towards Y, and also (by inference) <Y, hasEnemy, X>. However, it does _not_ necessarily mean <Y, enemyOf, X>, i.e. it is not necessarily reciprocal. owl:Thing
