Why Spatial Data?• It’s one of my interests and specialties …
data with a spatial component is great fun!• Fits neatly with my company’s
sponsorship of Code Camp – free internet via WiMAX.
• ‘Real’ business scenarios leveraging spatial data not often examined.
• Spatial data in a real business context != maps. Maps are for marketing ;-)
