Abstract
Sixteen years ago, Franklin (1992) estimated that about 80% of data contain geo-referenced information.
To date, the availability of geographic data and information is growing, together with the capacity of users to operate with IT tools and instruments. Spatial data infrastructures are growing and allow a wide number of users to rely on them. This growth has not been fully coupled to an increase of knowledge to support spatial decisions.
