Example usage of administrative within context of location

This example declares a GeographicVocabulary code G1 (Geonames) and a relevant code from that vocabulary, alongside an appropriate level:

  <location ref="AF-KAN">
   <location-id vocabulary="G1" code="1453782" />
   <name>Location name</name>
   <description>Location description</description>
   <activity-description>A description that qualifies the activity taking place at the location</activity-description>
<administrativelevel="1"code="1453782"vocabulary="G1"/>
   <point srsName="http://www.opengis.net/def/crs/EPSG/0/4326">
    <pos>31.616944 65.716944</pos>
   </point>
   <exactness code="1"/>
   <location-reach code="1" />
   <location-class code="2"/>
