Hello folks
We are currently revisiting the Geonames ontology (long overdue) including feature codes, on which I would like to add some Dublin-Core like annotations re. concepts. In particular some concepts are going to be deprecated using dcterms:isReplacedBy, some will be deprecated altogether without replace because they've never be used, and quite a lot will be put in a status of quasi-obsolescence or quasi-extinction. Those are feature codes used less than one per million features, which means less than 7 times considering Geonames has over 7 millions features in store ...
I was wondering which vocabulary is the best for expressing that. http://www.w3.org/2003/06/sw-vocab-status/ns is used by FOAF, Bibontology and others. But it defines status as a data property, I would prefer an object property with an enumerated range of individual values. Of course I can define those in geonames data space, but since this is not particular to geographical codes, I was wondering if there was some vocabulary on some shelves I miss. BTW I was amazed not to find any "status" property in Dublin Core.
Suggestions?
