4.13. Location Type Property

Although categories and location type tokens are perhaps similar, they serve rather different purposes. Location type tokens serve to categorize a VVENUE using a well-defined, finite list of possibilities (the IANA Location Type Registry). Categories on the other hand are user-provided and user defined and have both a richness and "messiness" that allows user-created taxonomies to arise and evolve.
