The articles in this issue make it clear that spatial information is a very wide-ranging domain indeed. Many user groups including researchers, decisionmakers, and casual users employ spatial data for many varied purposes. Local, state, national, and global scales provide the scope for collecting spatial data. Three primary elements characterize spatial data selection: attributes, time, and user tasks. Attributes define the contents and characteristics of spatial data as well as some of the limits of data use. (Autor) (Provider: Infodata)}, msc2010 = {H.4.2 (H.4.3)}, identifier = {01939926}, }
