Geospatial Data Set
Simple Definition: A set or group of geospatial data with a common theme or association.
Additional Explanation or Clarification: Features belonging to a geospatial data set typically share a common feature schema or set of attributes. The term does not typically refer to a single feature. Geospatial datasets are often represented in a GIS by a thematic layer. Geospatial datasets are typically the main elements in a GIS Data model.
Example: An ESRI Shapefile with a set of line features representing city streets could be called a Geospatial data set.
