Geographic data and information

Geographic data and information are defined in the ISO/TC 211 series of standards as data and information having an implicit or explicit association with a location relative to the Earth.[1]

It is also called geospatial data and information, georeferenced data and information, as well as geodata and geoinformation.

Approximately 90% of government sourced data has a location component.[2]
