Abstract

To incorporate the temporal element in traditional geographic information systems (GIS) is a challenge that has been researched for many years and has had several proposed solutions. In order to insert time in GIS, several issues must be taken into consideration, and this study addresses some of them. Firstly, we present the stages in the development of space-time GIS. Then, we discuss the issue of data representation in GIS and present the concepts related to the temporal dimension in the context of GIS. Next, the semantics of spatio-temporal data is discussed. We then define the functions that a GIS with spatial and temporal characteristics must meet and address the issue of supporting queries. Finally, we present some of the main models developed for the representation of spatio-temporal GIS.
