In the BFO reference, the located_in is defined as "b located_in c at t = Def. b and c are independent continuants, and the region at which b is located at t is a (proper or improper) continuant_part_of the region at which c is located at t.

exemplified by "Empire State Building located_in New York."

The inverse relation (not in BFO ref.) is named 'has_location' 'has_location' The naming suggests that this is not an inverse but just an alternative name "Empire State Building has_location New York."

I suggest to rename the inverse relation 'location of': "New York location_of Empire State Building"
