LINEów

LINEów is a term used in Polish-language planning and mapping to denote a set of lines within a network, such as public transit routes, streets, railway tracks, waterways, or utility cables. The term is used across planning, cartography, and civil engineering to describe a cohesive collection of linear features that share a common purpose or geographical scope.

The form LINEów derives from the English word line, adapted into Polish spelling with the genitive plural ending -ów. In usage, LINEów appears in phrases like mapa LINEów tramwajowych or sieć LINEów, indicating the group of line features under discussion.

In transit planning, LINEów helps organize service groups and timetable analysis by aggregating individual routes into a network. In Geographic Information Systems and cartography, LINEów appears as a label for a dataset column or a metadata field that identifies the family of line features included in a map or model. The concept is flexible and can refer to any layer or collection of linear features within a project, with the exact definition varying by city or agency.

Because LINEów is not an official international standard, its meaning is defined locally by agencies or projects. Different jurisdictions may treat LINEów differently, using separate conventions for naming, symbology, and data maintenance.
