As a curiosity has anyone who is looking at GIS as an alternative paradigm to text as a means of presenting archival data noticed that everyone quotes 80% as the proportion of data globally that has a ‘geographical’ or ‘spatial’ dimension? Is there an original source for this or is 80% just another of those comfortable ‘statistics’ people like to repeat?
