About
GeospatialGeometry
A Schema.org Type
This term is in the "new" area - implementation feedback and adoption from applications and websites can help improve our definitions.

Check for open issues.
(Eventually to be defined as) a supertype of GeoShape designed to accommodate definitions from Geo-Spatial best practices.

Description
Properties from
GeospatialGeometry
geoContains
GeospatialGeometry
or
Place
Represents a relationship between two geometries (or the places they represent), relating a containing geometry to a contained geometry. "a contains b iff no points of b lie in the exterior of a, and at least one point of the interior of b lies in the interior of a". As defined in
DE-9IM
geoCoveredBy
GeospatialGeometry
or
Place
Represents a relationship between two geometries (or the places they represent), relating a geometry to another that covers it. As defined in
DE-9IM
geoCovers
GeospatialGeometry
or
Place
Represents a relationship between two geometries (or the places they represent), relating a covering geometry to a covered geometry. "Every point of b is a point of (the interior or boundary of) a". As defined in
DE-9IM
geoCrosses
GeospatialGeometry
or
Place
Represents a relationship between two geometries (or the places they represent), relating a geometry to another that crosses it: "a crosses b: they have some but not all interior points in common, and the dimension of the intersection is less than that of at least one of them". As defined in
DE-9IM
geoDisjoint
GeospatialGeometry
or
Place
Represents spatial relations in which two geometries (or the places they represent) are topologically disjoint: "they have no point in common. They form a set of disconnected geometries." (A symmetric relationship, as defined in
DE-9IM
.)
geoEquals
GeospatialGeometry
or
Place
Represents spatial relations in which two geometries (or the places they represent) are topologically equal, as defined in
DE-9IM
. "Two geometries are topologically equal if their interiors intersect and no part of the interior or boundary of one geometry intersects the exterior of the other" (a symmetric relationship).
geoIntersects
GeospatialGeometry
or
Place
Represents spatial relations in which two geometries (or the places they represent) have at least one point in common. As defined in
DE-9IM
geoOverlaps
GeospatialGeometry
or
Place
Represents a relationship between two geometries (or the places they represent), relating a geometry to another that geospatially overlaps it, i.e. they have some but not all points in common. As defined in
DE-9IM
geoTouches
GeospatialGeometry
or
Place
Represents spatial relations in which two geometries (or the places they represent) touch: "they have at least one boundary point in common, but no interior points." (A symmetric relationship, as defined in
DE-9IM
.)
geoWithin
GeospatialGeometry
or
Place
Represents a relationship between two geometries (or the places they represent), relating a geometry to one that contains it, i.e. it is inside (i.e. within) its interior. As defined in
DE-9IM
Properties from
Thing
additionalType
Text
or
URL
An additional type for the item, typically used for adding more specific types from external vocabularies in microdata syntax. This is a relationship between something and a class that the thing is in. Typically the value is a URI-identified RDF class, and in this case corresponds to the
use of rdf:type in RDF. Text values can be used sparingly, for cases where useful information can be added without their being an appropriate schema to reference. In the case of text values, the class label should follow the schema.org
style guide
alternateName
Text
An alias for the item.
description
Text
or
TextObject
A description of the item.
disambiguatingDescription
Text
A sub property of description. A short description of the item used to disambiguate from other, similar items. Information from other properties (in particular, name) may be necessary for the description to be useful for disambiguation.
identifier
PropertyValue
or
Text
or
URL
The identifier property represents any kind of identifier for any kind of
Thing
, such as ISBNs, GTIN codes, UUIDs etc. Schema.org provides dedicated properties for representing many of these, either as textual strings or as URL (URI) links. See
background notes
for more details.
image
ImageObject
or
URL
An image of the item. This can be a
URL
or a fully described
ImageObject
mainEntityOfPage
CreativeWork
or
URL
Indicates a page (or other CreativeWork) for which this thing is the main entity being described. See
background notes
for details.
Inverse property:
mainEntity
name
Text
The name of the item.
owner
Organization
or
Person
A person or organization who owns this Thing.
Inverse property:
owns
potentialAction
Action
Indicates a potential Action, which describes an idealized action in which this thing would play an 'object' role.
sameAs
URL
URL of a reference Web page that unambiguously indicates the item's identity. E.g. the URL of the item's Wikipedia page, Wikidata entry, or official website.
subjectOf
CreativeWork
or
Event
A CreativeWork or Event about this Thing.
Inverse property:
about
url
URL
URL of the item.
