# GeoJSON **Entity class:** Geospatial data format ## Definition **GeoJSON** is a JSON-based format for representing geographic features and geometries such as points, lines, polygons, and collections, together with properties. In traceability systems, a farm boundary can be represented as a polygon whose coordinates are checked against forest, protected-area, and other spatial layers. ## Relationships - **standards route:** JSON, geographic coordinates, polygons, and feature properties. - **platform use:** [[wiki/ICE Commodity Traceability|ICE CoT]] farm-plot uploads. - **analytic chain:** [[wiki/Space Intelligence|Space Intelligence]] maps → polygon overlay → risk/validation results. - **disambiguation route:** [[wiki/ICE|ICE disambiguation]]. ## Sources / Provenance - [RFC 7946 — The GeoJSON Format](https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc7946) - [ICE CoT public methodology](https://www.ice.com/publicdocs/ICE_CoT_Public_Methodology.pdf)
