Geospatial information has become crucial to a wide range of federal applications and online services across the domains – military, law enforcement, intelligence, emergency response, agriculture and weather-climate prediction, to name a few. Within the GIS community, the recognition of how foundational geospatial information has grown has even caused a gradual shift to the use of the simpler term “location” data. The term also recognizes that location data can be dynamic, measuring spatially-based phenomena over short periods of time in a given area, unlike more static mapping data.
