Geolocations

This is not my field but shouldn't "locations" be mentioned? With best wishes. RobbieIanMorrison (talk) 21:29, 25 November 2018 (UTC)

Definition

It might be worth trying to incorporate this into the article:

Geographic information is a composite of spatial data and attribute data describing the location and attributes of things (objects, features, events, physical or legal boundaries, volumes, etc.), including the shapes and representations of such things in suitable two-dimensional, three-dimensional, or four-dimensional (x, y, z, time) reference systems (e.g., a grid reference, coordinate system reference, address, postcode, etc.) in such a way as to permit spatial (place-based) analysis of the relationships between and among the things so described, including their different attributes.
