## Definitions

### `social.passports.place`

**Type**: `object`

A place embedded inline in a passport entry. Self-contained: carries name, coordinates, and enough identifiers for any AT Proto consumer to look up richer data from ATGeo (https://atgeo.org). atgeoCollection + atgeoRkey let consumers fetch full detail (alt names, categories, address) without this record depending on an external service at read time.

| Property | Type | Required | Description |
|----------|------|----------|-------------|
| `geo` | `ref` → `community.lexicon.location.geo` | No | WGS84 coordinates as decimal strings, per the community location lexicon. |
| `name` | `string` | Yes | Human-readable place name for display. |
| `category` | `string` | Yes | Place type. |
| `locality` | `string` | No | Human-readable city or neighborhood for display, used when no unlocode is available (e.g. venues in cities not in UN/LOCODE). |
| `unlocode` | `string` | No | UN/LOCODE for this place (5 characters: 2-char country + 3-char code). Canonical cross-user match key for cities and towns that have one. |
| `atgeoRkey` | `string` | No | Record key within the ATGeo collection, e.g. 'node/249132774' for OSM, the FSQ ID for Foursquare, or a UUID for social.passports-sourced places. |
| `countryIso` | `string` | No | ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 country code. |
| `atgeoCollection` | `string` | No | ATGeo source dataset: 'osm', 'overture', 'foursquare', or 'social.passports' for places not yet covered by ATGeo. |
