The OGC GeoSPARQL Standard defines:

• A formal profile;

• this document;

• A core RDF/OWL ontology for geographic information representation;

• A set of SPARQL extension functions;

• A Functions & Rules vocabulary, derived from the ontology;

• A Simple Features geometry types vocabulary;

• SHACL shapes for RDF data validation.

This document authoritatively defines many of the Standard’s elements, including the ontology classes and properties, SPARQL functions, and function and rule vocabulary concepts. Complete descriptions of the Standard’s parts and their roles are given in the Introduction in the section .
