Re: How to link address and geometry to the object located there

(sorry locadd, my Yahoo mail has "technical troubles", I apologize if this gets posted 3 times) 

Hi Cristiano,

The linking scheme you use has a basis variable (Space), the other (Time).  There is no "right" answer, but the wrong answer is to fail to note that in your documentation.  This might entice a future user of your data set to commit the Reification fallacy[1].  Messing with future modelers' model is not nice.

     Hi all,
 
     I need to say that an organization (a pharmacy in
 particular) is
     located at an address and at the specified lat/lon
 coordinates, but
     I'm a bit confused. In the w3c
     
     ISA Programme Location Core Vocabulary description
     (http://www.w3.org/ns/locn)
 there is a diagram in Section
     
     Vocabulary Terms at a Glance showing a resource (the
 pharmacy in my
     case?) is directly linked with the Location, the Address
 and the
     Geometry. But, in the joinup web site I found another
 diagram
     showing that the Location instance is linked with
 Geometry and
     Address 
 
     
 
     http://joinup.ec.europa.eu/site/core_vocabularies/Core_Vocabularies_v1.1/Core_Vocabularies_v1.1.htm
     .
 
     
 
     Currently, I'm using the latter modelling. Thus I 
 have a Pharmacy
     instance linked with a Location one via the location
 property, and
     the Location instance linked with an Address and a
 Geomerty one. Do
     I am right?
 
     
 
     Thank you in advance,
 
     Cristiano Longo
