时空GIS的研究与进展

The Research and Development of Spatio-temporal GIS

时空GIS是建立在时态数据库、GIS、人工智能等基础上的一种综合型应用性技术,其研究对象是时空世界中遵循着诞生、成长、生存,直至死亡等自然规律的事物和现象的时空信息。虽然时空GIS在理论和实践等环节的研究还不十分成熟,但它是未来GIS发展的一个必然趋势。本文主要在介绍时空GIS的研究意义的基础上,总结概括了时空GIS的概念、发展历史和现状,并对时空GIS研究的难点和方向进行了剖析。

Spatio-temporal GIS is a synthesized and applied technique,which is based on temporal database,GIS,artificial intelligence and so on,and its research object is the spatio-temporal information of things and phenomena which follow the order of nature including naissance,growth,existence and death in the spatio-temporal world.Although the research of spatio-temporal GIS on the theory and practice is not very mature so far,it has been a inevitable trend of the future GIS's development.First of all,the paper introduces the significance of spatio-temporal GIS's research,basing on this,it has summarized and generalized the concept,development's history and actuality of spatio-temporal GIS,and then sets forth the difficulty and direction of the spatio-temporal GIS's research.
