Wikipedia

  1. geospatial

    Geographic data and information is defined in the ISO/TC 211 series of standards as data and information having an implicit or explicit association with a location relative to Earth (a geographic location or geographic position).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. Location information (known by the many names mentioned here) is stored in a geographic information system (GIS). There are also many different types of geodata, including vector files, raster files, geographic databases, web files, and multi-temporal data.Spatial data or spatial information is broader class of data whose geometry is relevant but it is not necessarily georeferenced, such as in computer-aided design (CAD), see geometric modeling.

    I presume that it is ill defined. According to the bit of knowledge that I have attained in my 24 years of experience in Remote sensing, I will define it as follows: Geospatial means A geographical space associated with locational references in terms of x and y coordinates expressed by Latitude, Longitude and Z-factor of height (x,y,z coordinates) or interms of UTM (Universal Transfer Mercator) coordinates that would make it in the real world. For instance if you have an aerial photo, it is simply a picture, bur if you georeference it i.e. assign the the x and y coordinates from a GPS on to the aerial photo four or 8 corners, you will transform the picture in to a geospatial information and if you have a multiple tiles for a mosaic, it will occupy its exact position, because the aerial photo is in the real world.
