Documented in regGeometry

#' Register a new geometry entry
#'
#' This function registers a new geometry of territorial units into the
#' geospatial database.
#' @param ... [\code{character(1)}]\cr optional named argument selecting the
#'   main territory into which this geometry is nested. The name of this must be
#'   a class of the gazetteer and the value must be one of the territory names
#'   of that class, e.g. \emph{nation = "Estonia"}.
#' @param subset [\code{character(1)}]\cr optional argument to specify which
#'   subset the file contains. This could be a subset of territorial units (e.g.
#'   only one municipality) or of a target variable.
#' @param gSeries [\code{character(1)}]\cr the name of the geometry dataseries
#'   (see \code{\link{regDataseries}}).
#' @param label [\code{list(.)}]\cr list of as many columns as there are in
#'   common in the ontology and this geometry. Must be of the form
#'   \code{list(class = columnName)}, with 'class' as the class of the ontology
#'   corresponding to the respective column name in the geometry.
#' @param layer [\code{character}]\cr the name of the file's layer from which
#'   the geometry should be created (if applicable).
#' @param archive [\code{character(1)}]\cr the original file (perhaps a *.zip)
#'   from which the geometry emerges.
#' @param archiveLink [\code{character(1)}]\cr download-link of the archive.
#' @param nextUpdate [\code{character(1)}]\cr value describing the next
#'   anticipated update of this dataset (in YYYY-MM-DD format).
#' @param updateFrequency [\code{character(1)}]\cr value describing the
#'   frequency with which the dataset is updated, according to the ISO 19115
#'   Codelist, MD_MaintenanceFrequencyCode. Possible values are: 'continual',
#'   'daily', 'weekly', 'fortnightly', 'quarterly', 'biannually', 'annually',
#'   'asNeeded', 'irregular', 'notPlanned', 'unknown', 'periodic',
#'   'semimonthly', 'biennially'.
#' @param notes [\code{character(1)}]\cr optional notes that are assigned to all
#'   features of this geometry.
#' @param update [\code{logical(1)}]\cr whether or not the file
#'   'inv_geometries.csv' should be updated.
#' @param overwrite [\code{logical(1)}]\cr whether or not the geometry to
#'   register shall overwrite a potentially already existing older version.
#' @details When processing geometries to which areal data shall be linked,
#'   carry out the following steps: \enumerate{ \item Determine the main
#'   territory (such as a nation, or any other polygon), a \code{subset} (if
#'   applicable), the dataseries of the geometry and the ontology \code{label},
#'   and provide them as arguments to this function. \item Run the function.
#'   \item Export the shapefile with the following properties: \itemize{ \item
#'   Format: GeoPackage \item File name: What is provided as message by this
#'   function \item CRS: EPSG:4326 - WGS 84 \item make sure that 'all fields are
#'   exported'} \item Confirm that you have saved the file.}
#' @return Returns a tibble of the entry that is appended to
#'   'inv_geometries.csv' in case \code{update = TRUE}.
