Andreas's mail gives me the opportunity to explain the objection I raised during the call [1] about the proposal of adding "spatial context" into scope question #1 [2]. My main concern is that the use of "spatial context" in the scoping question may be confusing, and probably unnecessary. In my understanding, spatial context is specified through spatial data - i.e., it denotes one of their possible uses. So, "spatial data" should be inclusive enough - it would cover spatial data as a whole, irrespective of their use. Thanks!
