Notes:

1) Needs resolution: isLegallyDefinedIn. Currently the object property resides in LegalPersons and has a range of GeopoliticalEntity. We recommend that the range should instead by Jurisdiction. Furthermore, we need to link a jurisdiction to a kind of Polity perhaps via the LegalSystem. We may consider introduce a new relation between Polity and the LegalSystem it authorizes.

2) We have decided not to model property chain axioms that produce inferences (for example isOrganizedIn o hasReach subClassOf isDomiciledIn). However we will use property chains to model definitions of concepts (for example isEstablishedBy o isInForceIn o hasReach subClassOf isLegallyDefinedIn expresses the meaning of isLegallyDefinedIn).
