it is a property of some other object it refers to, like a plot, a building or 
in some cases an entrance, a staircase or an apartment. You will need it for 
geocoding and reverse gc. For routing it might not be sufficient (eg in case of 
big areas you'd want to be led to an entrance or a reception area)
