  • is ontological root of (forms the root element of the ontology)
  • located in the Islamic territorial entity (the item is located on the territory of the following Islamic entity.)
  • address of addressee (address of the address e.g. on a postcard)
  • TheaterEncyclopedie ID (An item of the TheaterEncyclopedie)
  • relates to sustainable development goal, target or indicator (indicates a relation between the subject and the SDGs or one of the components)
