Definition

role held by a geospatial site when it is the location of some material entity at some time or the site of some process

Semi-Formal Definition:

every instance of ‘location role’ is defined as exactly an instance of ‘role’ that is the ‘role of’ some ‘geospatial site’ that is ‘location of at some time’ some ‘material entity’ or ‘is site of’ some ‘process’
