SPATIAL-BASED DATA ASSESSMENT Student’s Name     Course Name Professor University City and State Date       Spatial-Based Data Assessment Fitness for purpose Introduction Site selection is a fundamental process in determining the suitability of a given geographical area to host a given facility. Researchers and developers use geographic information systems (G.I.S.) to analyze and evaluate spatial data to make decisions based on an accurate representation of variables. The process of coming up with a functional G.I.S. application involves various steps. These steps include data sourcing, data integration, and capture; also, analysis of data and the generation of an output that is usable. The complexity of this process makes it prone to errors. This report, therefore, evaluates the quality of data used in the site evaluation process of a bioenergy plant and points out the error issues related to data processing. It then concludes by suggesting improvements that are necessary to enhance the accuracy of the output of the G.I.S. application. Criteria for Assessing Purpose Fitness Fitness-based for useful purposes refers to how easily and efficiently data can be…

SENSE-DATA THEORY By (Name)           Course Professor Name of the School City and State Date     Sense-Data Theory A sense-datum is a mind-dependent object that a human being is directly aware of in perception, and it portrays the exact properties it appears to have (Huemer 2011). For example, when one stands in front of a mirror, he or she sees a reflection that does not correspond to anything in the external world to his or her mind, since the image appears to be located in a space beyond where the mirror is placed; for instance, a wall. Consequently, the image is a mental object that can be considered as a sense-datum. Also, when one sees a tomato, he or she forms a mental image of a red and round fruit. Although one can doubt the presence of a tomato, none can dispute the existence of its characteristics; consequently, they make up sense data for the object. The sense-data theory received both support and opposition from various philosophers. Bertrand Russell was one of the greatest endorsers…
