Civic Data Boundaries: U.S. Minnesota

This record provides metadata, schemas, and transformation functions for Minnesota boundary layers as part of the Civic Data Boundaries series within the Civic Interconnect ecosystem.

The Minnesota component serves as a data adapter, translating the Minnesota Secretary of State's public GeoJSON boundary files, covering precinct, county, congressional, and legislative districts, into a unified, cross-state Civic Interconnect schema.

Included in this release

• manifest.json - defines data layers, source URLs, and schema mappings

• api/v1.0.0/catalog.json - machine-readable catalog entry for programmatic discovery

• schemas/ - JSON Schemas for validating catalog and manifest structure

• src/adapter.js - state-level adapter for Minnesota boundary data

• src/shared/transform.js - pure functions for property and geometry transformation

• .github/ and scripts/ - validation and continuous integration utilities

• docs/ - test schema transformations
