FAIRsharing record for: Apollo Location Code

This FAIRsharing record describes: The Apollo Location Service (LS) Database issues persistent identifiers for locations for specific time intervals, including intervals that start in the past and are still open at present (i.e., the identifier should be used to refer to the location today). Temporally specific location identifiers are particularly important in epidemiology because the epidemiological record includes locations that do not presently exist, location names that have changed and location names whose political boundaries have changed.
