LOCATION Table Design v5.6

Field Name Description Data Type Field Size
LOCID The unique identifier of the location. Number Long Integer
LTYPE Specifies the type Location E.g., Country, Province or Nursery test site. Links to types defined in the UDFLDS table Number Integer
NLLP Number of LAT-LONG points in the polygon describing the Location. Zero if no LAT-LONG Number Integer
LNAME Preferred name of the location
This may be a standardised name, such as from a digital gazetteer, or a coded name such as BUR010, or a text description, such as “2km E of Los Baños”. Note that there is no requirement to assign a name to an unnamed location; an unnamed location may instead be identified by its latitude-longitude and/or altitude coordinates (in table GEOREF) and/or the country and subnat divisions in which it is located.

LABBR Preferred abbreviated name of the location Text 8
SNL3ID Name of third level of political subdivision within country (e.g. Vereda). Number Long Integer
SNL2ID Name of second level of political subdivision within country (e.g. District) Number Long Integer
SNL1ID Name of first level of political subdivision within country (e.g. State, Province Department) Number Long Integer
CNTRYID LOCID of the country location entry in this table to which this current location entry belongs. Number Long Integer
LRPLCE Own LOCID for deletion, replacement LOCID for replaced records, zero otherwise Number Long Integer
NNPID LOCID of the nearest named place. Typically to be used for a location where LNAME is a text description of the locality, and NNPID points to the village closest to that locality. For the purposes of data curation, note the conceptual difference: SNL*ID describe the hierarchy of administrative units within which the location occurs: whereas NNPID refers to the nearest named place. NNPID is thus not necessarily within SNL*ID. Number Long Integer

LOCATION: data about a location of any kind - named or unnamed place, a political entity, geographical entity or feature from continent down to a building or a locality with a text description (not address) of how to find it. It may even have no name or description at all, if referenced only by lat/long coordinates in GEOREF.
