The location where the person was born.
The Place Of Birth is given using the Location class. The use of Geographic Identifier is preferred as it is unambiguous. However, public sector data typically uses simple names to record places and this is fully supported through the Geographic Name property. Although highly unlikely in practice, it is possible to define a place of birth in terms of an address or, even less likely, a geometry given as coordinates.
