Where to take city, region and country from ENVO or GEO? #153

Description

@StroemPhi

At the moment I imported the classes for country, city and region from ENVO. However there is a sovereign state class in GEO as well. Whereas in GEO country/nation/sovereign state as well as the entity which could be used as region is defined as an organization (bfo:material entity) it is a bfo:site in ENVO. Also there is no class for city in GEO, but there is in ENVO.

So for me it is totally confusing atm where to take this from, if all I want to say in AOEN is where (city, region, country) some academic event took place with the use of a ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 code that denotes that entity. The latter (ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 code) is an identifier class defined in GEO, which I cannot use unfortuantely, as it is defined as an ID in OBIB using terms from GEO, hence incompatible with ENVO. AAARRRRRGGGGHHHH

this is still an open question: OBOFoundry/COB#138
