Data format for geometry dataTypeEnum

Open jaw111 opened this issue 8 years ago • 1 comments

It is unclear from the documentation as to what the data format/syntax should be for the geometry dataTypeEnum in a WDC.

Please add a page similar to the one for supported date formats:

Hey @jaw111, what is accepted via the geometry datatType adheres to the GeoJson spec: https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7946, which is why we don't have it documented separately. Specifically, the following type are supported:

  • Points and MultiPoints
  • Lines and MultiLines
  • Polygons and MultiPolygons

We can definitely make this clearer in our docs though, thanks for the feedback.
