Modeled as transcontinental for retrieval: Russia is under EasternEurope/Europe and also directly under Asia.

A class-based geography ontology for GraphRAG/document parsing. Specific continents, regions, and countries are modeled as OWL classes so document-derived mentions can be instantiated directly as members of those classes.
