person location

Person location is critical in delivering emergency
While the person ID/ age/ gender are all important, knowing their
exact/approximate (and indicative degree of approximation of) location
is an important piece of data for a number of reasons that I am sure I
dont have to discuss :-)

We need to consider that mobile phones nowadays can automatically give
position, and our schema should be able to capture that information
that otherwise would be lost/not usable

Location/Cell Based Services are already being designed/ implemented
that automatically capture distress signals and broadcast it to the
nearest stations,
It's about future proofing our work, I think
