The Semantic Web is a Web of Data — of dates and titles and part numbers and chemical properties and any other data one might conceive of. The collection of Semantic Web technologies (RDF, OWL, SKOS, SPARQL, etc.) provides an environment where application can query that data, draw inferences using vocabularies, etc.

Data with a direct or indirect reference to a specific location or geographical area (cf. the legal definition in the INSPIRE directive, Directive 2007/2/EC). This term can be interchanged with location data, geospatial data or geodata.

A strategic approach for managing and maximising the value of location information.
The process of deriving meaningful insight from geospatial data relationships — people, places or things — to solve particular challenges such as demographic or environmental analysis, asset tracking, and traffic planning [Gartner Research]
Location interoperability is the ability of organisations, systems and devices to exchange and make use of location data with a coherent and consistent approach
