Feature Schema

Geospatial Data Set

Simple Definition: A set or group of geospatial data with a common theme or association.

Additional Explanation or Clarification: Features belonging to a geospatial data set typically share a common feature schema or set of feature attributes. The term does not typically refer to a single feature. Geospatial datasets are often represented in a GIS by a thematic layer. Geospatial datasets are typically the main elements in a [1]GIS Data Model.

Example: An ESRI Shapefile with a set of line features representing city streets could be called a Geospatial data set.
