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.

construction | 1 The man-made structure is being built or undergoing renovation or repair. Incorporates site preparations, building of new construction and the renovation or repair of existing structures.
intact | 2 The man-made structure is complete and intact. The man-made structure may or may not be in operation or use.
unmaintained | 3 The man-made structure is left in place to deteriorate. The man-made structure has been abandoned and no maintenance or repairs are being carried out. While the structure is physically intact, no signs of operation are visible.
damaged | 4 The man-made structure is damaged. Damage may be a consequence of accident, military action, or natural disaster. The damaged man-made structure can be repaired.
dismantled | 5 The man-made structure has undergone a systematic selective removal of components. Low value components and/or equipment may remain. The man-made structure cannot be repaired without a great deal of time and effort.
destroyed | 6 The man-made structure has undergone complete destruction and is in a state of total disrepair. Destruction may be a consequence of military action, natural disaster, planned demolition or a long period of no maintenance. A destroyed man-made structure can only be restored by complete reconstruction.

rectangularRegular | 2 The streets form an intersecting grid pattern of approximately regularly spaced lines at right angles to each other.
rectangularButIrregular | 3 The streets form a discontinuous intersecting grid pattern of approximately regularly spaced lines at right angles to each other. Street discontinuities are often created to form small urban parks, or to discourage through-traffic in a residential neighborhood; the consequence is blocky irregularities in the overall pattern.
curvilinear | 4 The streets follow a planned pattern of curves and irregularities designed to discourage through traffic and ensure increased privacy. Usually only found in residential neighborhoods.
radialRegular | 6 The streets tend to radiate out from a central point in a somewhat evenly spaced pattern in all directions similar to the spokes of a wheel; side streets connecting to the radials tend to be unevenly spaced and to connect only a few of the radials instead of going completely around.
radialButIrregular | 7 The streets tend to radiate out from a central point in an unevenly spaced pattern in all directions similar to the spokes of a wheel; side streets connecting to the radials tend to be unevenly spaced and to connect only a few of the radials instead of going completely around.
mixedRadialCurvilinear | 11 The streets follow a mix of radial and curvilinear patterns.
mixedRectangularRadial | 10 The streets follow a mix of rectangular and radial patterns.
mixedRectCurvilinear | 9 The streets follow a mix of rectangular and curvilinear patterns.
linear | 13 There is a single main street perhaps with a short paralleling side street, or it stretches out in both directions along two main intersecting roads (in outline configured as a cross). Sometimes referred to a strip development and common on the edge of expanding urban areas or in rural areas where the main thoroughfare or intersecting roads are the only ones paved or otherwise improved.
concentricRegular | 14 The main street pattern is a series of somewhat evenly spaced, increasingly large circles around a central point; side streets connecting to the circles tend to be unevenly spaced and to connect only a few of the circles instead of radiating out continuously from the center.
regularCanals | 15 The main thoroughfare areas are a series of regularly spaced canals, similar to the regular street pattern.
irregularCanals | 16 The main thoroughfare areas are a series of irregularly organized unevenly spaced canals.
contourConforming | 17 The majority of the somewhat evenly spaced streets follow the contour of the land, staying near the same elevation throughout. Usually found in urban areas on steep slopes where a few steep and sharply twisting side streets connect the paralleling contour streets.
contouringButIrregular | 18 The majority of the streets follow the contour of the land, staying near the same elevation throughout, however they are unevenly or widely spaced from each other. Usually found in urban areas on steep slopes where a few steep and sharply twisting side streets connect the paralleling contour streets.
medievalAndIrregular | 19 The streets extend in an irregular pattern from the center reflecting the historic pattern of development, often centred by a church or fortress. Usually found in the center of older urban areas.

Name: | uniqueEntityIdentifier
Title: | UFI
Definition: | The globally unique and persistent identifier of an entity (for example: feature or event) instance as specified by a Uniform Resource Name (URN) in accordance with the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) RFC2396 and RFC2141.
Description: | It is based on the Uniform Resource Identifier (URI), a compact string of characters for identifying an abstract or physical resource. The term 'Uniform Resource Name' (URN) refers to the subset of URI that are required to remain globally unique and persistent even when the resource ceases to exist or becomes unavailable. The URN is drawn from one of a set of defined namespaces, each of which has its own set name structure and assignment procedures.
