Title: | GEM-zI007.LZN-singleValue
Definition: | The dimension of a feature taken along its primary alignment of use and generally in the horizontal plane.
Description: | The primary alignment of a feature is its established direction of flow or use (for example: a road, a power line, a river, a rapid, and/or a bridge). A feature-specific rule may apply. In the case of a bridge, the length is the distance between the bridge abutments along the bridge centreline. In the case of a dam, the length is the distance along the dam crest. If no established direction of flow or use exists then (1) if the feature is irregular in shape its length is its greatest horizontal dimension (see Attribute: 'Greatest Horizontal Extent'), else (2) if the feature is regular in shape then a shape-specific rule may apply: for a rectangular feature, the length of the longer axis; for a round feature, the diameter.

Description: | A macrolanguage is a set of closely related language varieties (dialects) that generally have a common linguistic identity and a common written form; this may occur when there is a transitional socio-linguistic situation in which sub-communities of a single language community are diverging. The language of the geographic name source should be distinguished from the language of origin or etymology of a geographic name; for example, considering the place name 'San Jose, California' the language of the source of this geographic name may be English if it is determined from a United States map, regardless of the fact that this geographic name means 'St. Joseph, California' in Spanish.

burialSite | 23 A structure within which a corpse is entombed or an area of ground in which the dead are buried. For example, a cemetery, a grave, and a crypt.
cathedral | 1 A Christian church, specifically of a denomination with an episcopal hierarchy (for example: Anglican, Catholic or Lutheran), that serves as the central church of a diocese, and thus as a bishop's seat. As cathedrals are often particularly impressive edifices, the term is sometimes also used loosely as a designation for any large important church.
chapel | 2 A private Christian church or similar place of worship (for example: a dedicated chamber or sanctuary within a building). When a free-standing building it may be smaller than a (public) church and is located on the grounds of an institution (for example: a college, a hospital, a palace, an estate, or a prison) where it may be attached to a larger building.
hermitage | 21 A secluded residence, allowing life in relative seclusion and/or isolation from society. The resident (termed a 'hermit') renounces wordly concerns and pleasures in order to come closer to the deity or deities they worship or revere, a form of asceticism.
monastery | 19 A facility housing a community of monks living in seclusion, adopting a strict religious and ascetic lifestyle and retreating from the world for contemplative prayer. The community usually follows a single rule, is governed by an abbott, and all members live together, pray together, and share all possessions.
noviciate | 20 A facility housing a community of prospective members of a religious order (termed 'novices') who have not yet been admitted to vows and have to undergo training in order to be found eligible or qualified for admission.
seminary | 10 A facility housing a specialized university-like institution for the purpose of instructing students (termed 'seminarians') in theology, often in order to prepare them for religious service (for example: congregation leadership). These usually, though not always, teach Christian (for example: priests or ministers) or Jewish (for example: rabbis) doctrine. Monks, nuns and/or lay people may also be instructed.
stupa | 12 A round, usually dome-shaped, Buddhist shrine topped with a cupola. It is intended to house relics of the Buddha, and includes such features as the torana (gateway), the vedica (fence-like enclosure), the harmika (a square platform with railings on top of the stupa), the chattrayashti (a parasol or canopy) and a circumambulatory around the stupa.
synagogue | 13 A place for Jewish worship and religious instruction. May also be termed a 'temple' by some Reform and conservative congregations, although Orthodox Judaism reserves that term for the Temple in Jerusalem.
church | 3 A Christian temple, reserved for religious or spiritual activities.
retreat | 22 A place established for temporary seclusion and a time of solitude, religious prayer and/or meditation. Retreats are considered essential in Buddhism and they are common in many Christian churches. They are typically conducted in a remote location (for example: at a private facility or at a monastery).
marabout | 4 A shrine, often a whitewashed dome, marking the burial place of an Islamic holy man (who is also known as a 'marabout'). A marabout is a personal spiritual leader in the Islam faith as practiced in West Africa, and still to a limited extent in the Maghreb. The marabout is often a scholar of the Qur'an, and many make amulets for good luck, preside at various ceremonies, and in some cases actively guide the life of the follower.
tabernacle | 14 A church that has been specially designated (for example: by religious authority). May take on a variety of shapes and sizes (for example: as a shrine, a chapel, or a temple). The term is most closely associated with The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (for example: the Salt Lake Tabernacle) but may be applied to other named churches associated with revivalism (for example: the Metropolitan Tabernacle or the Maxwell Memorial Tabernacle).
convent | 18 A facility housing a community of priests, religious brothers and/or religious sisters, that is meant to be the presence in the world of a group dedicated to charitable or preaching service. The religious orders served are mainly those in the Roman Catholic Church and, to a lesser degree, in the Anglican Communion. May be used to refer specifically to a community comprised only of religious sisters. Both religious brothers and religious sisters take vows, usually of poverty, chastity and obedience.
mission | 6 A religious centre established for missionary, evangelical, or humanitarian work. May be characterized by one or more dwellings, a school, a church, a hospital and/or other facilities operated by a religious group.
mosque | 7 An Islamic temple, reserved for religious or spiritual activities.
pagoda | 8 A Hindu or Buddhist temple or sacred building, usually in the form of a many-tiered tower with stories of diminishing size, each with an ornamented projecting roof. It is evolved from the stupa but it can be entered and may serve a secular purpose. They are found mainly in east Asia whereas the stupa is found in India and south-east Asia.
temple | 15 An edifice reserved for religious or spiritual activities (for example: prayer or sacrifice), or analogous rites (as in masonry). In some religions it is regarded as the dwelling-place of a god or gods. Many religions have specialized versions of this term (for example: a Christian church, a Morman temple, or an Islamic mosque).
minaret | 5 A tower providing a vantage point from which a muezzin (a servant at a mosque) can call at hours of prayer. Usually a tall, graceful spire, with an onion-shaped crown, connected with a mosque. May be either free standing or much taller than any surrounding support structure.
religiousCommunity | 9 A facility housing a community under religious vows. For example, a monastery or a convent.
shrine | 11 A place of worship or devotion to a saint or deity, usually housing a relic (for example: a bone or other body part) or man-made object (for example: an icon) that is venerated for the deity, spirit or daemon that it embodies. May be constructed on a site which is thought to be particularly holy, as opposed to being placed for the convenience of worshippers, and consequently may be associated with the practice of pilgrimage.
