The country where the person was born.
A person's Country Of Birth is defined using the Location class. A plain code like "DE" should be provided as a Geographic Name whereas a URI should be provided as a Geographic Identifier. Ideally, provide both. Providing a simple country name is problematic and should be avoided whereas using a standardised system that allows the use of a code list for country names has a lot of potential for increasing semantic interoperability.
