Spatial Data Quality. During this episode, Clarence Hempfield and I discuss aspects of spatial data quality, including the three basic spatial data types (points, lines, and polygons), data quality issues that can affect them, business applications of spatial data for enterprise location intelligence, and how mobile devices are driving the consumerization of geographic information systems (GIS), requiring business and consumer awareness of the data privacy implications of increasingly location-aware mobile applications. Clarence Hempfield has over 17 years of experience in the high-tech industry with extensive experience in product management, product marketing, sales, and communications.
He is the Director of Global Product Strategy for Pitney Bowes Software, where he leads global product strategy for enterprise location intelligence. Hempfield has spent the majority of his career in data-intensive domains, which include location intelligence, data management, predictive analytics, and document management. Systemed/iD. Data vis.
