Abstract

This paper introduces a novel framework for deriving and mining hierarchical event structures of spatiotemporal phenomena in data from in-situ sensor measurements. The framework builds on the hierarchical event schema as a cogitative construct for the understanding of dynamic phenomena and on the granularity tree as a hierarchical ontological construct for spatiotemporal phenomena. The construction of event schemas (and granularity trees) is carried out using scale-space analysis from which the interval tree, a hierarchical decomposition of the data is derived. We show that the interval tree fulfills the Axioms and conditions of both time granularity and granularity trees, and expand the granularity tree construct to support temporal order constraints. Once hierarchical decomposition is derived, the data mining problem is transformed to an ordered tree matching problem.
