Birth Certificate: Location and Address #62

Closed cbahim closed 4 years ago

cbahim commented 4 years ago

This thread will now essentially focus on Location and Address for the Birth certificate

As mentioned in issue #37, ES' birth evidence does not include the Address

we don't include in our birth evidences the address but only the municipality or consulate

As mentioned in issue #37, FI agrees with the above and suggests adding Municipality element to LocationType

same as above regarding address (issuingPlace element): not present in Birth Certificate (digital), not even the municipality, only the name of the issuing authority.

please consider adding Municipality element to LocationType.

Birth country, Birth municipality and Nationality(one or more) of the person in question and both of the parents are all present in the birth certificate issued by Finland. If any of them was born abroad, Birth municipality value = "Abroad". The 2-char country code is also available in the same field (in brackets, space-separated): e.g. Birth country = Finland (FI). Dual citizenship/multiple nationalities are separated by coma e.g. Nationality = Finnish (FI), Hungarian (HU)

As mentioned in issue #50, IT agrees with ES concerning the concept of Address

We also agree with Spain on another point of their issue #37: the presence of the concept Address. Probably there is no need for the Address concept; rather it is enough Location. In fact, it is not clear why Location has only a mandatory property named “address” used to represent two address components (to use INSPIRE’s terminology): city (post name) and country (admin unit level 1).

We suggest to keep Location only in order to represent both a country and a city. The definition of Location is “A spatial region or named place” which is general enough to capture the concepts of city and country. BTW: all the properties with range location have multiple cardinality; therefore, even this solution (without address) would be good to represent both country and city.

In view of the above, we propose to remove the Addressclass and add the geographicName & geographicIdentifier attribute to the Location class.
