According to https://github.com/cportele/ogcapi-building-blocks#building-block-maturity.

The description for itemType field in a collection reads: 'Indicator about the type of the data items in the collection. The items can be accessed by following the items link, if provided. The default value is "feature".'

It'd be good to describe when you'd use 'feature', and when you might use another value, and what those potential other values are. I've dug in quite a bit in OGC stuff and have never quite found a satisfying definition of what goes there. Tiles seems to use it differently from records, etc.

Should we have a 'formats' section where we add in geopackage, geojson, wkt, wkb, geotiff/cog, zarr, etc? Or does that belong in its own repo of like 'format building blocks'? It feels to me like the other bit an implementor new to geospatial would need in their API. Maybe it's just a page of documentation that guides people through what format to use.
