Geospatial data definition

Geospatial data means georeferenced data pertaining to the location of geographical entities together with their spatial dimensions presented in the form of printed maps, charts, and publications, in digital simulation and modelling databases, in photographic form, or in the form of digitized maps and charts or attributed centerline data;
Geospatial data means a class of data that has a geographic or spatial nature. The data will usually include locational information (latitude/longitude or other mapping coordinates) for at least some of the features within the database/dataset.
Geospatial data means information that identifies the geographic location and characteristics of natural or constructed features and boundaries on the earth. This information may be derived from, among other things, remote sensing, mapping, and surveying technologies. Statistical data may be included in this definition at the discretion of the collecting agency.

More Definitions of Geospatial data

Geospatial data means the collective data that possesses a geographic or locational component including, but not limited to, geographic data in the form of coordinates, address, city, or ZIP code.
Geospatial data means digital data comprising geographic or projected map coordinate values, identification codes and associated descriptive data to locate and describe boundaries or features on, above or below the surface of the earth, or characteristics of the earth's inhabitants, or its natural or human-constructed features. “Geospatial data” and “geographic information” are synonymous for the purposes of this 2015 Act.
Geospatial data means any data with a direct or indirect reference to a specific location or geographic area;
Geospatial data means electronic data used in a GIS which exist in one of three forms: (1) graphic data (e.g., parcel boundaries, street centerlines and planimetric data captured from aerial imagery such as building footprints, curb lines and contour elevations); (2) non-graphic or attribute data (e.g., tabular records that can be associated with graphic data); or (3) digital imagery or raster data.
Geospatial data means accurately references to a precise location on the earth's surface using latitude, longitude, elevation and datum that identifies the coordinate system used.
Geospatial data means datasets that identify geographic location, including Google maps, weather maps, real estate listing, and traffic data.
Geospatial data means Data relating to a set of physical locations which may be area, line or point, that is referenced to the earth’s surface; or a two or three-dimensional object or extract;
