80 percent is not enough
August 9, 2010
If you are somewhat familiar with the GIS stuff, most likely you’ve heard about that gullible, urban-legend-like qoute that 80% of all data has spatial reference. It’s omnipresent in GIS product brochures and company ads – even though its empirical foundation is, hmm lets say …dubious.
However, I was somewhat astonished when I read this article in Computerworld, whereto: “..95% is more accurate today”. Do I hear 105%? Somewhere? Oh and by the way, did you know: 95% of all food contains water.
