Name Cardinality^? Type Description

Name	Cardinality^?	Type	Description
`m_rid`	1	`string`	Master resource identifier issued by a model authority. The mRID is unique within an exchange context. Global uniqueness is easily achieved by using a UUID, as specified in RFC 4122, for the mRID. The use of UUID is strongly recommended. For CIMXML data files in RDF syntax conforming to IEC 61970-552, the mRID is mapped to rdf:ID or rdf:about attributes that identify CIM object elements.
`coordinate_system`	0..1	`CoordinateSystem`	Coordinate system used to describe position points of this location.
`main_address`	0..1	`StreetAddress`	Main address of the location.
`position_points`	0..*	`PositionPoint`	Sequence of position points describing this location, expressed in coordinate system 'Location.CoordinateSystem'.
`description`	0..1	`string`	The description is a free human readable text describing or naming the object. It may be non unique and may not correlate to a naming hierarchy.
`names`	0..*	`Name`	All names of this identified object.
