7. 'up to 80 percent of data have a spatial component’
8. 'up to 80 percent of data have a spatial component' is now part of our geographical lexicon (e.g., Boulos and Roudsari 2000; Francica 2000; McKee 2001; Swartz 2001). Klinkenberg (2003), The true cost of spatial data in Canada . The Canadian Geographer 47 (1), 37-49. This is more significant knowing the fact that about eighty percent of all data have a spatial component Dent et al. (2000), Using GIS to Study the Health Impact of Air Emissions , Drug and Chemical Toxicology, Volume 23 It is estimated that eighty percent of all data have a spatial component ; therefore… Radford University, Geoinformatics information page, http://www.radford.edu/~informatics/geoinformatics.shtml Moreover, while it is estimated that up to 85% of all data have a spatial component … Brown University (2001), Project Description, http://envstudies.brown.edu/thesis/2001/james/intro.html Estimates suggest that up to up to 80% of all applications have a geographical component Terra Cognita 2006 - Directions to the Geospatial Semantic Web

58. The actual work of establishing a useful affordance hierarchy is formidable. Jordan, Raubal, Gartrell, Egenhofer, An Affordance-Based Model of Place in GIS , SDH 1998 We limit the presentation to type classes, representing categories as the set of types sharing some behavior, i.e., offering common affordances.
