Hi Soonho,

What do you mean by register?

I see 3 options:

1. Link the countries/concepts in this ontology to their dbpedia 
equivalents.

2. Add this data to the dbpedia data, and have it published on 
http://dbpedia.org - I guess this is not trivially possible. DBPedia is 
mainly from wikipedia, but including a few other sources.

3. Add this data to your own copy of dbpedia to query them together, 
this depends on your database :)

I actually had a look at the FAO ontology a while back, and you already 
"link" to dbpedia:

I.e. countries have properties like:
<codeDBPediaID 
rdf:datatype="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string";>Turks_and_Caicos_Islands</codeDBPediaID>

This means that for option 1, you have already done the hard conceptual 
work (i.e. figuring out what countries match). However, you have 
published it in your own crazy way that noone else understands :)

The link should be a resource (i.e. URI) not a literal (i.e. string).
It could for instance be:

<owl:sameAs 
rdf:resource="http://dbpedia.org/resource/Turks_and_Caicos_Islands"; />

For option 2 - it may well be worth exploring adding the FAO country 
list somehow - it is quite an authorative source as to what constitutes 
a country (re: paul houle most justified complaint that dbpedia lists 
3000 countries)


Cheers,

- Gunnar



Do you mean link these
