URI	`http://marineregions.org/ns/ontology#hasGeometry`
Is Defined By	http://marineregions.org/ns/ontology
Description	Based on the ISA Programme's Location Core Vocabulary, with the range restricted to Simple Features objects. Multiple geometries may be provided, in which case every geometry is considered to be independent from each other. As independent geometries, they can be visualized on top of each other, or they can be merged into one GeometryCollection.
