> This page uses v9.7.1 of the Mapbox Maps SDK. A newer version of the SDK is available. Learn about the latest version, v11.29.0, in the [Maps SDK documentation](https://docs.mapbox.com/help/glossary/worldview/).

In Mapbox services, the worldview data field is used to identify geographic features whose characteristics are defined differently by audiences belonging to various regional, cultural, or political groups.

See the [Mapbox glossary's `worldview` entry](https://docs.mapbox.com/help/glossary/worldview/) for more information about available worldviews and required filters in the Mapbox Style Specification.
