What does the framework say data locality refers to?

1. The definition is one line: "Data locality refers to the data processing occurring at the location of the data storage." 2. The idea is to move the computation to the data rather than the data to the computation, which is what makes distributed processing across a cluster efficient. 3. Note that locality here is about the relationship between processing and storage, not about geography. Nothing in the definition mentions regions or jurisdictions. 4. The delay in processing or availability is the framework's definition of latency, a neighbouring term in the same list. 5. The tendency of data structures to change over time is its definition of volatility, another term from the same list. _Source: NIST SP 1500-1r2 "NIST Big Data Interoperability Framework: Volume 1, Definitions" (Oct 2019), p.6 section 2 "Terms and Definitions"_
