Integer uuid :: n/a - goes in the URL e.g. [base]/Location/[locationId]
String name :: Location.name
String description :: Location.description
String address1 :: Address.line
String address2 :: Address.line
String cityVillage :: Address.city
String stateProvince :: Address.state
String country :: Address.country
String postalCode ::Address.zip
String latitude :: Location.position.longitude
String longitude :: Location.position.latitude
String countyDistrict :: not mapped
String address3 :: Address.line
String address4 :: Address.line
String address6 :: Address.line
String address5 :: Address.line
Location parentLocation :: Location.partOf
Set<Location> childLocations :: not mapped
