Of the terms - Land and Landscape

In Agrovoc, Landscape is an NT under under Land. For indexing, such type of grouping was found to be convenient. But in the revised version, only `is a' relation and `instance of' relation define the BT/NT relationship.

Since, the relation between Land and Landscape is neither an `is a' relation nor `an instance' relation, Landscape cannot be an NT under Land. It can at best be an RT.

Then, what should be the BT for Landscape? Should it be Physiographic features? Please comment.

(Note: The UF ref. for Physiographic features is Physical landscape features, i.e. Physical landscape features USE 5834 - Physiographic features)

Please clarify to classify !

While organizing the terms into a semantic web, I sometimes wonder where to put certain terms! Some terms seem to belong to more than one category, with the different meanings they connote as a noun and as a verb. Certain other terms seem to remain aloof, not fitting into any of the identified categories. (Pl. see the previous post for the categories)

We earnestly request you to think over the following terms and help us to classify them better. You can give your comments in the comments field.

Mankind

Individuals

Occupations

Entrepreneurship

Risk

Needs

Agrovoc terms being organized under Top Concepts

The first task was to set the BT/NT relationships for the Agrovoc Descriptors. All the descriptors, starting with those without a BT, are being assigned to one of the Top Concepts like Organisms, Substances, Activities, Subject, Phenomena, Groups, Measure and Time. About 15 such concepts are identified so far and are being refined during the course of the work.

In the process some of the non-descriptors having UF and UF+ relations are converted into descriptors and made as NTs under appropriate terms.

Each of the revised relations are being reviewed by Ms. Sini Margherita and Ms. Gudrun Johannsen of the FAO.
