SiteInstitutionBuilding

 

Part of the Locations hierarchy, SiteInstitutionBuilding is usually used for buildings and repositories or sites smaller than a CityOrCounty, including neighborhoods or archaeological digs within city limits. Fill out the record as completely as possible, including GPS data if it is available.

 

Note: The Locations hierarchy may contain “unknown” as entries. These are used only when you have a named entity smaller than a continent wherein you cannot establish one or more parts of the hierarchy ABOVE it. No Location hierarchy should end in “unknown.” Thus, SiteInstitutionBuilding should never be “unknown” but may contain “unknown”s in the hierarch above it.
