Temporal Maps and Temporal Geographical Information Systems (Review of Research)
Agnar Renolen · 1997
The need to record the history of and the ability to reason about changes in the world has lead to a new eld of research within the community of Geographical Information Systems (GIS). Recently a lot of new theory and concepts have emerged and a number of spatiotemporal data models have been presented. In this review we will have a closer look at the most important issues such as bitemporality, temporal topology, visualization, and different types data models such as the snapshot model, the time-stamping method and event-oriented models. Finally, suggestions for future work will be made.
