place level

level associated with places of place classification “administrative subdivision”

place relationship

bivalent relationship between place entities, constituting the place tree linking parent and child places (“place A is in place B”)

relationship

semantic or topological interrelation or dependency between locations in the LRS

semantic or topological interrelation or dependency between locations in the LRS
NOTE: Relationships can exist between locations in the LRS. These relationships will generally be structured to allow more sophisticated use of the location reference, such as a topological or hierarchical structure. For example, a county location may be defined as an aggregate of several city locations or a long stretch of road may be an aggregate of several smaller road segments. Referencing the county may be easier than referencing all the cities which make up the county. This allows scalability and ease of use in the LRSs using the LRM.
