Abstract
This paper presents a formalized ontological framework for the analysis of multiscale classifications of geographic objects. We propose a set of logical principles that guide such geographic classifications. Then we demonstrate application of these principles on a practical example of the "National Hierarchical Framework of Ecological Units". The framework has a potential to be used to facilitate interoperability between such geographic classifications
