Learning Objectives:
Describe extensions to relational DBMS to represent temporal change in attributes
Evaluate the advantages and disadvantages of existing space-time models based on storage efficiency, query performance, ease of data entry, and ability to implement in existing software
Create a GIS database that models temporal information
Utilize two different space-time models to characterize a given scenario, such as a daily commute
Describe the architecture of data models (both field and object based) to represent spatio-temporal phenomena
Differentiate the two types of temporal information to be modeled in databases: database (or transaction) time and valid (or world) time
Identify whether it is important to represent temporal change in a particular GIS application
Describe SQL extensions for querying temporal change
