comment: a PoliticalEvent accessible via pol:takesPlaceAt clearly encodes a "global" goal (e.g., being against nuclear power plants: class pol:AntiNuclear), but an event usually focuses on something very specific, e.g., looking at the problem of depositing radioactive waste (encoded recorded under property pol:hasGoal)

LawMakingProcess
type: Class
subclass of: PoliticalAction
comment: HUK: originally called "Law-Making Procedure" by Paul Ringler, but I think "Law-Making Process" is the commonly-used name; a law-making process is initiated by the political governance (usually the executive) and normally leads to a law at the very end; the law itself (actual the proposal) then is enacted by the legislature: LawMakingProcess--leadsTo->Law--enactedBy->PoliticalGovernance

politische Funktion
type: Class
label: political function @en
label: funkcja polityczna @pl
label: typ władzy @pl
comment: PoliticalGovernance refers to the concept of the separation of powers; I consciously do NOT make legislature, executive, and judiciary pairwise disjoint, because not every state implements this restriction; this concept even subsumes systems that come with more or different branches that do not conform to the traditional "trias politica" principle of Montesquieu; note that the name of the leaf node concepts often use the country as a prefix to distinguish, e.g., the German Federeal PRESIDENT from the American PRESIDENT, quite distinct concepts, although belonging to the executive branch and carrying "President" in their names
comment: note that PoliticalGovernance is a further cross-classification of PoliticalFigure in that individuals and groups can also be found here; e.g., BritishPrimeMinister (Person) or GermanFederalAssembly (Group)
