I guess LAU would be too fine grained - note that we don't have the LAU1(NUTS4)/LAU2(NUTS5) levels in [2], and only up to "level 4" in GADM (e.g., [3]). Properties that I currently know that encode administrative levels (with integers as range) are: * http://rdfdata.eionet.europa.eu/ramon/ontology/level * http://ec.europa.eu/eurostat/ramon/ontologies/geographic.rdf#level * http://gadm.geovocab.org/ontology#level Geonames has some properties for relating a Feature to their PPi Features in higher levels: * http://www.geonames.org/ontology#parentADM1 * http://www.geonames.org/ontology#parentADM2 * http://www.geonames.org/ontology#parentADM3 * http://www.geonames.org/ontology#parentADM4 > Does this make sense? Yep, clearer now. A small vocabulary with a few properties and classes would be nifty. Cheers, Andreas.
