What happens when people don't agree on the what makes up each of those elements?

What happens when different groups have conflicting requirements for specificity?

What happens to existing data that isn't directly mappable?

For example, location could be:

• GIS coordinates

• Map coordinates

• Street address

• Region name

• A polygon on a map.

• Any of the above plus relative coordinates:

  • 10 paces north

  • a depth of 10 meters

  • from 10-20 meters in the canopy.
