This extension adds support for properties useful for integrating field boundary data with the AI/ML ecosystem.

• Examples:
  • GeoJSON
  • GeoParquet
• Schema
• Changelog

Properties

Collection

The fields in the table below can be used in these parts of fiboa documents:

• Collection
• Feature Properties

Property Name	Type	Description
ml:creation_date	date	REQUIRED. Date the collection was created or published

Features

The fields in the table below can be used in these parts of fiboa documents:

• Collection
• Feature Properties

Property Name	Type	Description
ml:boundary_type	string	REQUIRED. Whether the boundary is for a field, ownership parcel, hedge, or other boundary
ml:creation_date	date	REQUIRED. Date collection was created or published
ml:verified_from	date	REQUIRED. The first date for which the boundary is verified to be present on ground (e.g. through ground-truth or remote sensing image verification)
ml:author	string	REQUIRED. Name of individual or organization who created this.
ml:country_code	string	REQUIRED. ISO 3166-1 alpha-3 country code. Three-letter country code for the country that contains the field, e.g. SDN for Sudan. Can be found at https://www.iso.org/obp/ui/#search under the Alpha-3 code column.
ml:admin1	string	REQUIRED. Modified ISO 3166-2 codes for identifying the principal subdivisions (e.g., provinces or states) of a country (i.e. admin1) that contains the field. The feature only contains the second part of the ISO 3166-2 code, to reduce redundancy.
ml:admin2	string	A unique admin2 (county) name for the administrative region that contains the field. The feature contains the last part of the HASC 2 codes. The HASC 2 codes can be found here.

Note

Country Code, admin1 and admin2 can be derived from GADM boundaries.

Additional Properties

Additionally, the following properties from from the core specification are relevant for AI usecases:

Property Name	Type	Description
determination_method	string	REQUIRED. The boundary creation method
determination_datetime	string	REQUIRED. The first date for which the boundary is verified to be present on ground
