An extensible framework for spatio-temporal database applications
G. Faria, Cláudia Bauzer Medeiros, Mário A. Nascimento · 2002
There is a wide range of scientific applications requiring sophisticated management of spatio-temporal data. However existing database management systems offer very limited support for managing such data. Thus, it is left to the researchers themselves to repeatedly code this management into each application. We present an extensible framework, based on extending an object-oriented database system, with kernel spatio-temporal classes, data structures and functions, to provide support for the development of spatio-temporal applications.
