Location data science versus data science

Now that we have learned that location data is beyond mapping, and specifically is manipulation and processing of geographic data and applying analytical methods, we will move into the interdisciplinarity of location data science. We have also studied location data intelligence and how insights are derived from location data by illustrating this with diagrams. But how is location data science (spatial data science) different than data science? How do they relate to each other? In this section, we will cover the commonalities as well as differences between location data science and data science as a discipline.
