+    A post, role or position within an organization or body.
+    This describes a position one or more people may occupy
+    and not the occupation of the post by a specific individual at a 
+    specific point in time.
+
+    'subnationalArea' should be used to further restrict the scope of the
+    position. It should not simply represent some regional aspect of the
+    role - e.g. the constituency of a national member of parliament - when
+    their legislative jurisdiction is nationwide.
