---++Element Description: Locality
The specific natural language description of the place where the organism was collected or observed. This element need not contain less specific geographic information provided in other geographic elements (*[[HigherGeography]]*, *[[Continent]]*, *[[Country]]*, *[[StateProvince]]*, *[[County]]*, *[[WaterBody]]*, *[[Island]]*, *[[IslandGroup]]*). Though coordinate information can be contained in this concept, these data will be usable analytically only when shared through the concepts of the [[GeospatialExtension][Geospatial Extension]].
