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

Hello Cristiano,

I am not sure about the diagram, but I would say that the resource in that
diagram does not need to be the same resource.

For me a logical way of modelling would be to say that pharmacies are
instances of the dctemrs:Location class and are related to address and/or
geometry resources (instances of locn:Geometry and locn:Address). The
properties locn:geometry and locn:address can be used to link a pharmacy to
geometries and/or addresses. The locn:location property could be used to
link other resources to pharmacies as locations.

Regards,
Frans
