GeoJSON – open, lightweight format based on JSON, used by many open source GIS packages GeoMedia – Microsoft Access based format for spatial vector storage (by Intergraph ) ISFC – MicroStation based CAD solution attaching vector elements to a relational Microsoft Access database (by Intergraph )
GeoJSON [1] is an open standard format designed for representing simple geographical features, along with their non-spatial attributes.It is based on the JSON format.. The features include points (therefore addresses and locations), line strings (therefore streets, highways and boundaries), polygons (countries, provinces, tracts of land), and multi-part collections of these types.
Shapefile – a popular vector data GIS format, developed by Esri; Geography Markup Language (GML) – XML based open standard (by OpenGIS) for GIS data exchange; GeoJSON – a lightweight format based on JSON, used by many open source GIS packages; GeoMedia – Intergraph's Microsoft Access based format for spatial vector storage
The shapefile format is a digital vector storage format for storing geographic location and associated attribute information. This format lacks the capacity to store topological information. The shapefile format was introduced with ArcView GIS version 2 in the early 1990s. It is now possible to read and write geographical datasets using the ...
The TIGER/Line shapefile data includes complete coverage of the contiguous United States, Alaska, Hawaii, Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, American Samoa, Guam, the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, and the Midway Islands.
The Geospatial Data Abstraction Library (GDAL) is a computer software library for reading and writing raster and vector geospatial data formats (e.g. shapefile), and is released under the permissive X/MIT style free software license by the Open Source Geospatial Foundation.

A WKT format is defined to describe the operation methods and parameters used to convert or transform coordinates between two different coordinate reference systems. The WKT 1 and WKT 2 formats are incompatible regarding coordinate operations, because of differences in the modelling. [13]
