Abstract

We overview three major types of GIS-oriented spatiotemporal databases: (1) point-based, (2) region-based, and (3) constraint-based. We analyze the relationship among these spatiotemporal databases and show how they can be translated into each other. We illustrate the translations with an example from National Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS) databases. Finally, we also discuss the advantages and disadvantages of using the various types of spatiotemporal databases.
