This object defines a geographic place.

This object isn't directly supplied by GDS, but used by packages that may wish to implement a standardised view of a "place". It is not really practical to define every attribute of a place, and this object will continue to grow over time, however, the use of standardised codes and meanings can simplify data sharing. Often, an implementing system may chose to use the GDS GeoLocation object to extend their current view of a "place" - it does not need to replace a current systems view.
