Collinearity is a basic arrangement of regions in the plane. We investigate the semantics of collinearity in various possible meanings for three regions and we combine these concepts to obtain definitions for four and more regions. The aim of the paper is to support the formalization of projective properties for modelling geographic information and qualitative spatial reasoning. Exploring the semantics of collinearity will enable us to shed light on elementary projective properties from which all the others can be inferred. Collinearity is also used to find a qualitative classification of the arrangement of many regions in the plane.
