Summary

All data are spatial. Try to think of a piece of data that is not spatial, and we bet with a little more thought, you could come up with a spatial characteristic of those data! Perhaps the name of a historic figure? That name has a provenance … it was given in a particular place, and the person may have lived in one or more places, and moved about the surface of the Earth according to some pattern. And the name itself (if written) has a length measured in number of letters, and it has shapes and sizes that affect its perception by others, much like the spatial elements of a map communicate something to its audience.
