Temporal and geographical information for historical documents are important information to classify or analyze these documents. Spatio-temporal information of historical documents have some properties, (1) ambiguous scale, (2) variety name about same area, (3)inconsistency.And these information is incomplete such as a geographical information has only a name of place. In this paper, we propose temporal and regional relationships for spatio-temporal information of historical documents and explain a method to decide these relationships between these information.
