Abstract. In this paper, we propose a solution to the problem of designing a flexible query processor for spatio-temporal databases. Our solution is to design a bottom-up interface, whose parameters handle different spatiotemporal applications. We propose a relational schema that can cope with various spatio-temporal data types. Based on this model, we have design a flexible query processor for spatio-temporal databases. We have implemented this query processor in TerraLib open source GIS environment and we present a case study. 1.
