Archived to Wikidata talk:WikiProject Ontology/Archive 3 § High level Geographic classes.

In November 2023, AHIOH deprecated the claim geographical feature (Q618123)subclass of (P279)physical location (Q17334923). I'm not sure what they were trying to do, but it probably has to do with the above conversation. It was brought to my attention by this property constraint which currently doesn't allow human settlements because human settlement (Q486972) is no longer a subclass of (P279)physical location (Q17334923). Could someone fix the property constraint to an appropriate value to match the current modeling of these high-level classes? I don't really understand their current hierarchy. Daask (talk) 15:05, 10 August 2025 (UTC)

Greetings. I was under the impression that geographical features are characteristics and qualities of geography rather than objects. Essentially "kinds" of geographic objects. It would seem that the instances of geographic feature would be geographic objects sharing common characteristics (mountains, parks, etc.) I would think the geographic object would have a physical location property and could be a type of feature, but it doesn't seem like the features themselves are defined as a physical location necessarily but rather the shared characteristics.

Probably could of used some discussion before changing the value, so sorry about that. I'm takin' a bit of break, so wish you all the best in figuring out a good solution. Good luck! AHIOH (talk) 20:21, 4 October 2025 (UTC)
