General provisionswhat we got

Geometryformats

● WKT, WKB● KML, GML (xml based)● GeoJSON (json based)● Shapefile (ESRI open specification)● etc.

Geometrycommon types

● Point(x, y)

● Line(<point>, <point1>, <point2>, …)

● Polygon(<line>, <line1>, <line2>, …)

MultiGeometryadditional types of geometry

● MultiPoint(<point>, <point1>, <point2>, ...)

● MultiLine(<line>, <line1>, <line2>, ...)

● MultiPolygon(<polygon>, <polygon1>, <polygon2>, ...)

Database layerstoring spatial data
