Based on SUMO, http://reliant.teknowledge.com/DAML/SUMO.owl#LandArea SUO 1.55: July 14, 2003 An area which is predominantly solid ground, e.g. a &%Nation, a mountain, a desert, etc. Note that a &%LandArea may contain some relatively small &%WaterAreas. For example, Australia is a &%LandArea even though it contains various rivers and lakes.
Land Area
Similar to http://purl.org/vocab/relationship vocabulary, but with different domain and range.

The attribute of belonging to a particular ethnic group, or originating from a GeographicArea. Unlike Residency, which can change, Ethnicity is considered permanent.
Ethnicity attribute
Broadly the same as http://reliant.teknowledge.com/DAML/SUMO.owl#Character SUO 1.55: July 14, 2003 An element of an alphabet, a set of numerals, etc. Note that a &%Character may or may not be part of a &%Language. &%Character is a subclass of &%SymbolicString, because every instance of &%Character is an alphanumeric sequence consisting of a single element.

Comparable to http://reliant.teknowledge.com/DAML/SUMO.owl#CognitiveAgent SUO 1.55: July 14, 2003 A &%SentientAgent with responsibilities and the ability to reason, deliberate, make plans, etc. This is essentially the legal/ethical notion of a person. Note that, although &%Human is a subclass of &%CognitiveAgent, there may be instances of &%CognitiveAgent which are not also instances of &%Human. For example, chimpanzees, gorillas, dolphins, whales, and some extraterrestrials (if they exist) may be &%CognitiveAgents.

Human is a memberOf a Group. Inverse of member. There are subtleties about Collections in SUMO that i'm omiting here.
member of
The ethnicity or, more generally, cultural heritage of a person. This can overlap with both religiousBelief (which may, however, change over time) and nativePlace (which, like ethnicity, does not change, though residency might). Whether a given property represents ethnicity or citizenship (nativePlace) can be a difficult decision, but in general, ethnic identities like "Jewish" or "Greek" take precedence. For example, we consider the Apostle Paul to have Jewish ethnicity, though he was a citizen of Tarsus, because he was raised as a Jew. Ethnicity is not specified without specific evidence, either textual or reliable tradition: for example, having a Greek name is not sufficient.
ethnicity
Comparable to http://reliant.teknowledge.com/DAML/SUMO.owl#Region: "A topographic location. Regions encompass surfaces of Objects, imaginary places, and GeographicAreas. "
Region
The latitude component of a GeographicLocation

A person who is related by kinship to this person. No attempt is made to delineate precisely which kinship relations qualify: this is used when a description indicates two people are "related". parent/child/siblingOf are subproperties of this, properly speaking.
relative of
Belonging to the citizenry of a country (e.g. Roman). There may be parallel ethnicity attributes (Roman being the primary example) which are not easily distinguished. In the case of Roman, while all ethnic Romans (in the general sense, though not necessarily legal sense [e.g. slaves]) are Roman citizens, there are other Roman citizens (e.g. Paul) who have different ethnicity.
SUO 1.55: July 14, 2003 The class of &%Male &%Humans.
Man
The location a person or group of people resides in. Range values may change over time: no attempt is made to capture this. Transient residence of very short duration is assumed to be visited, not resident. People addressed in a letter bound for a specific destination (e.g. the epistle of Paul to the Romans) are assumed to be resident there unless there is indication to the contrary (since the timing of a letter's arrival could not be determined with high precision).
resident place
"A person who works toward a common goal with this person", similar to http://purl.org/vocab/relationship vocabulary, but with different domain and range. Those to whom the author of a New Testament Epistle send greetings are assumed to be collaborators, though this is perhaps broader than the general sense of the word. However, simple Christian fellowship or conversion do not constitute collaboration in this sense.

"A person who opposes and contends against this person", similar to http://purl.org/vocab/relationship vocabulary, but with different domain and range. For clarity, <X antagonistOf Y> means X opposes, etc. Y, and also (by inference) <Y hasAntagonist X>. However, it does _not_ necessarily mean <Y antagonistOf X>, i.e. it is not necessarily reciprocal.
antagonist of

Comparable to http://reliant.teknowledge.com/DAML/SUMO.owl#BeliefGroup SUO 1.55: July 14, 2003 A &%Group whose &%members share a belief or set of beliefs. For NTN, this covers groups defined by a particular set of beliefs (orthodox or heretical) which are informal, rather than formal, in membership and activity.

Broadly the same as http://reliant.teknowledge.com/DAML/SUMO.owl#NaturalLanguage SUO 1.55: July 14, 2003 The &%subclass of &%HumanLanguages which are not designed and which evolve from generation to generation. This &%Class includes all of the national languages, e.g. English, Spanish, Japanese, etc. Note that this class includes dialects of natural languages.

Based on SUMO, http://reliant.teknowledge.com/DAML/SUMO.owl#City SUO 1.55: July 14, 2003 A &%LandArea of relatively small size, inhabited by a community of people, and having some sort of political structure. Note that this class includes both large cities and small settlements like towns, villages, hamlets, etc.
City
inverse of enemyOf, which is not necessarily reciprocal

Places that a human visited. For current purposes, only instances which are explicitly mentioned in Scripture are included, not those that might be inferred (e.g. if going from from A to B implies visiting C, C would not be listed).
visited place
Louw-Nida identifier, keying specific Greek terms (and their English translations) to their taxonomy of semantic domains. A string like "33.X'.439" identifies the term sumballo, which can be translated as "to express differences of opinion in a forceful way". In their scheme, this has domain index 33 (Communication), with sub-domain index X' (Dispute, Debate). The final integer index uniquely defines this term (but the same term may have multiple senses). The sub-domain index can be determined from the term index, but it seems helpful to include both. Note the possible values of the sub-domain index are A-Z, then A'-Z', etc.

Attributes of people, overlapping with the class hierarchy under suo:Group: this is unsatisfactory.
Human attribute
Based on SUMO, http://reliant.teknowledge.com/DAML/SUMO.owl#WaterArea SUO 1.55: July 14, 2003 A body which is made up predominantly of water, e.g. rivers, lakes, oceans, etc.
Water Area
The human language name of an Object in Koine (not Modern) Greek, in the standard dictionary form (nominative case). Since Protege (3.0 build 141) doesn't seem to support loading and saving xml:lang attributes on properties, different subproperties are used for representing names in different languages. "grc" is the three-letter ISO-639-2 standard designator for Koine Greek.

Comparable to http://reliant.teknowledge.com/DAML/SUMO.owl#Organization SUO 1.55: July 14, 2003 An &%Organization is a corporate or similar institution. The &%members of an &%Organization typically have a common purpose or function. Note that this class also covers divisions, departments, etc. of organizations. For example, both the Shell Corporation and the accounting department at Shell would both be instances of &%Organization. Note too that the existence of an &%Organization is dependent on the existence of at least one &%member (since &%Organization is a subclass of &%Collection). Accordingly, in cases of purely legal organizations, a fictitious &%member should be assumed.

Based on SUMO, http://reliant.teknowledge.com/DAML/SUMO.owl#GeographicArea SUO 1.55: July 14, 2003 A geographic location, generally having definite boundaries. Note that this differs from its immediate superclass &%Region in that a &%GeographicArea is a three-dimensional &%Region of the earth. Accordingly, all astronomical objects other than earth and all one-dimensional and two-dimensional &%Regions are not classed under &%GeographicArea.

Based on SUMO, http://reliant.teknowledge.com/DAML/SUMO.owl#GeopoliticalArea SUO 1.55: July 14, 2003 Any &%GeographicArea which is associated with some sort of political structure. This class includes &%Lands, &%Cities, districts of cities, counties, etc. Note that the identity of a &%GeopoliticalArea may remain constant after a change in borders.
Geopolitical Area
Based on SUMO, http://reliant.teknowledge.com/DAML/SUMO.owl#Nation SUO 1.55: July 14, 2003 The broadest &%GeopoliticalArea, i.e. &%Nations are &%GeopoliticalAreas that are not part of any other overarching and comprehensive governance structure (excepting commonwealths and other sorts of loose international organizations). Note that modern nations referred to in the New Testament (Spain, Italy, Libya) are typically not instances of Nation, but rather of Region (if the borders are indefinite) or of LandArea.

"A person towards whom this person feels hatred, intends injury to, or opposes the interests of", similar to http://purl.org/vocab/relationship vocabulary, but with different domain and range. For clarity, <X, enemyOf, Y> means X feels hatred, etc. towards Y, and also (by inference) <Y, hasEnemy, X>.
