Geo-Objects and Hierarchies

The Geo-Objects and Hierarchies page is where you define the structure of your geographic data:

• Geo-Object Types define kinds of geographic objects, such as provinces or health facilities, with their geometry type and attributes.

• Groups collect related Geo-Object Types that share a geometry type and attributes.

• Hierarchies define how Geo-Object Types relate to each other as parents and children.

At the top of the page's list, choose Geo-Object Types, Hierarchies or Directed Acyclic Graph Types. Items are listed under the organization that manages them, and you can find one with Search All. Click an item to view it.

Registry Administrators can add, edit and delete Geo-Object Types, groups and hierarchies for their own organization. Other users can view them.

Once your Geo-Object Types are set up, load Geo-Objects into them with Import Geospatial Data.
