Geo Shape is a standard XDM data type that describes the shape of a geographic area. This data type is based on the public specification documented on schema.org.

Property Data type Description
_schema.box Array of Geo Coordinates Describes a geographical area enclosed by a rectangle formed by two coordinates. The first coordinate is the lower corner of the rectangle, and the second coordinate is the upper corner.
_schema.circle Array of Geo Coordinates Describes a circular region with a specific radius centered on a geographic coordinate.
_schema.polygon Geo Circle A series of four or more coordinates where the first and final coordinates are identical.
_schema.description String A description of what the shape is defining.
_schema.elevation Double The specific or minimum elevation of the shape. This value conforms to the WGS84 datum and is measured in meters. In combination with ceiling, this property can be used to express a three-dimensional bounding box for a location.
_id String A unique, system-generated identifier for the shape.
ceiling Double The maximum elevation of the shape. This property is only valid when used in combination with elevation. The value conforms to the WGS84 datum and is measured in meters. In combination with elevation, this property can be used to express a three-dimensional bounding box for a location.
