@Fgnievinski: I do not dispute that "Aerial photography is the taking of photographs of the ground from an elevated/direct-down position", but geographic data and information is "data and information having an implicit or explicit association with a location relative to the Earth". In the context of "geographic data and information", location is a specific location within a spatial reference system, eg latitude/longitude - it's more specific than just "above the ground, looking down", which is all that is required for something to be aerial photography. If I take a photo from the air it is aerial photography, but if I do not also record the location it is not "Geographic data and information". Mitch Ames (talk) 13:23, 25 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
The ISO definition does allow for implicit association, no?
Yes, implied association with a location relative to the Earth. For the purposes of categorising as "geographic data and information" I don't think that "the ground" alone is sufficient as a "location". It's true that some aerial photography is geo-located, but there's nothing in the definition of "aerial photography" that requires geo-location, so "aerial photography" in general is not a sub-category of "geographic data and information".
