Geography" tab¶

The "Geography" tab shows the extent of the data on a map and indicates the data format, number of entities, geometry type, coordinate system, extent coordinates, scale and resolution of the data;

Card ¶

Definition	Extent of the resource in geographic space, expressed as a boundary polygon
Indications	The right-of-way must encompass all the objects contained in the dataset. In the case of manual editing, the bounding polygon should be as tight as possible, so as to delimit the resource described as accurately as possible (do not give a rectangle covering the whole of France for data limited to one commune). Ideally, the boundary polygon should only cover contiguous areas, and should be multiple in the case of scattered territories. If several rights-of-way are indicated, they must not overlap.
Example
INSPIRE requirement	Mandatory
Batch editing	Yes, by crushing
Scan	Yes, convex envelope
Search engine	No
Resource sheet	No
Service sheet	Yes

1. Click on "Modify";
2. Draw the right-of-way on the map;
3. Finish your entry by double-clicking on the map or by clicking again on the first vertex of the polygon;
4. Save.
