Resolution

The Geospatial Glossary, published by the Geospatial Commission, and accessed on 17 September 2022, suggests that: ‘Resolution expresses the size of the smallest object in a spatial data set that can be described. It refers to the amount of detail that can be discerned. It is also known as granularity.’

In the construction industry, the word 'resolution' might also refer to dispute resolution.
