A new perspective paper proposes a paradigm shift in geospatial AI, advocating for the integration of raster and vector data into a unified spatial representation learning framework. Current Earth Observation Foundation Models primarily use raster data, neglecting the rich semantic information found in vector sources like OpenStreetMap. The authors argue that combining these complementary data types is crucial for developing more accurate, interpretable, and semantically grounded geospatial AI systems. AI
