This paper introduces a model of a spatio-temporal database, which we are developing to query interesting events in video sequences. The database we are designing is pushing the state-of-the-art for a number of fields, and there are many issues that are still waiting a satisfactory solution. In this paper, we present our (albeit still partial) answer to some of these problems, and the future direction of our work. Our design is divided into two layers: a logbook, which operates as a short time repository of unsummarized and unprocessed data, and a long-term spatio-temporal database, which stores and queries summarized data.
