# geoContains

Represents a relationship between two geometries (or the places they represent), relating a containing geometry to a contained geometry. "a contains b iff no points of b lie in the exterior of a, and at least one point of the interior of b lies in the interior of a". As defined in [DE-9IM](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DE-9IM).

## Expected Types

| Type | Description |
|------|-------------|

| [Place](https://schema.org.ai/Place) | Entities that have a somewhat fixed, physical extension. |
