Border
A border in GIS is a line or polygon marking separation between geographic or administrative areas: country, province, municipality, district, or property boundary (parcel).
Borders come from registries (BRK parcels, CBS municipal boundaries, BGT objects) or are drawn for analysis. Topological accuracy matters for overlay and area counts.
A border is not a buffer zone or bbox. It is the actual or legal dividing line; buffers and bounding boxes are derived geometries for analysis or querying.
