Enumeration:
"DecimalDegree"
 - 
 Value is expressed as a decimal degree
"DegreesMinutesSeconds"
 - 
 Value is expressed as Degrees-minutes-seconds.
"DecimalMinutes"
 - 
 Value is expressed as Decimal Minutes.
"Meters"
 - 
 Value is expressed in meters.
"Feet"
 - 
 Value is expressed in feet.

required
Indicates the spatial primitive object which the point references.
Attribute Value
enumeration of xs:NMTOKEN
Enumeration:
"Point"
 - 
 Single geographical point (e.g., an address).
"Polygon"
 - 
 Geographic area described with a set of three or more points.
"Line"
 - 
 Set of points describing a line.
"LinearRing"
 -
