Temporal reasoning in geographical information systems
Proceedings 11th International Workshop on Database and Expert Systems Applications, 2002We present a declarative approach to spatio-temporal analysis of geographical data. We introduce a logical language, MuTACLP+, providing a set of temporal primitive operators that allow the user to perform temporal reasoning on spatial data stored in a geographical information system (GIS).
