geographic identifier

spatial reference in the form of a label or code that identifies a location
EXAMPLE: “Spain” is an example of a label (country name); “SW1P 3AD” is an example of a code (postcode).
NOTE 1 to entry: The term “location code” has been used previously in ISO/TC 204 documents, but “geographic
identifier” is preferred to better align with the activities of ISO/TC 211.
[SOURCE: ISO 19112:2019, 3.1.2, modified — Note 1 to entry and deprecated term “location code” added.]
