   <name>Location name</name>
<description>Locationdescription</description>
   <activity-description>A description that qualifies the activity taking place at the location</activity-description>
   <administrative level="1" code="1453782" vocabulary="G1" />
   <point srsName="http://www.opengis.net/def/crs/EPSG/0/4326">
    <pos>31.616944 65.716944</pos>
   </point>
   <exactness code="1"/>
   <location-reach code="1" />
   <location-class code="2"/>
   <feature-designation code="PRNQ"/>

  <location ref="AF-KAN">
   <location-id vocabulary="G1" code="1453782" />
   <name>Location name</name>
   <name xml:lang="fr">Emplacement du nom</name>   
   <description>Location description</description>
<descriptionxml:lang="fr">Descriptiondel'emplacement</description>
   <activity-description>A description that qualifies the activity taking place at the location</activity-description>
   <activity-description xml:lang="fr">Une description qui qualifie l'activité ayant lieu à cet emplacement</activity-description>
   <administrative level="1" code="1453782" vocabulary="G1" />
   <point srsName="http://www.opengis.net/def/crs/EPSG/0/4326">
    <pos>31.616944 65.716944</pos>
