  11                         A <ref target="geo:SpatialThing">Spatial Thing</ref> which this <ref target="foaf:Person">Person</ref> is “based near”.

  14                         “Near” is intentionally vague, but intended to be generally human‐scale.
  15                         “Based” is even more confusing, but the implication is that some significant amount of a Person¦s activities occur where they are “based”.

  17                 <p>
  18                         <ptr target="(FOAF)"/> defines the domain of this property merely as Spatial Things; this ontology restricts it specifically to Persons.
  19                         There isn¦t a good definition of “based” for things which aren¦t at least <ref target="foaf:Agent">Agents</ref>, and most non‐Person Agents are conceptual rather than physical (i·e, they aren¦t Spatial Things).
  20                         So, expanding the domain beyond Persons would mostly just invite confusion.
  21                 </p>
  22                 <p>
  23                         <ptr target="contact:nearestAirport"/> is suggested as a possible alternative.
