OK, what does "geospatial" mean?
We all use the word, but what--exactly--does "geospatial" mean?
It's kind of an odd word anyway, surely "geo" and "spatial" refer to the same thing, namely, well space and geography. Can you have a geo-geography? How about a non-geo spatial? What's the difference between regular spatial and geospatial?
Is it an industry word? People in academia don't seem to use it.
Glenn at anything geospatial says he's been doing geospatial and GIS for 15 years, but I thought the word was only a few years old. What's the difference between GIS and geospatial then?
Is it a good word? Should we promote it? Should we replace "GIS" with "geospatial" when we speak to other people?
What does it mean?

Since "geo" is from Greek gaya meaning Earth, geospatial would thus mean earth-space. It has a poetic ring to it, which makes it fun to use. :)
