location number
A number or alphanumeric string which indicates the precise location of an object.
Location numbers are numerals, or combinations of numbers and letters, which indicate the precise or somewhat precise location of an object, especially with respect to a local numbering system.
The value locates the object within a local numbering or route-reference system. It can contain letters as well as numerals.
A house number identifies a location along a street or within a grid. A kilometer marker identifies position along a measured route; the number is not necessarily a unique global identifier.
