<p>All of the properties list above, are concerned with equality or similarity about resources themselves. However, we often want to talk about the similarity of Spatial Things in terms of location or <em>place</em>. Spatial relations (see <a href="#link-type-spatial-rels" class="sectionRef">above</a>) can be used to describe how locations are related &mdash; either using rigorous topological relationships derived from geometry, such as <a href="http://www.opengis.net/ont/geosparql#sfEquals"><code>geosparql:sfEquals</code></a>, or ones without formal mathematical underpinning, such as <a href="http://www.geonames.org/ontology#nearby"><code>geonames:nearby</code></a>. But <em>place</em> is a social concept that reflect how we humans perceive the space around us, often with a vague or imprecise notion of location; you can’t always define a boundary for a place like <a href="http://sws.geonames.org/2212709/">The Sahara</a> because not everyone agrees where its edge lies!</p>
