I did a talk/survey on Time in GIS at FOSS4G in 2006.

I apologize in advance if you catch it in your inbox twice, but I didn’t want to miss any potential resources. I’m working on a GIS Data Model in which I am trying to model some temporal data. I’ve done a little research online, but most of the info is pretty ESRI specific. Although I’m somewhat curious about the use of temporal data in a GIS in general, I’m really interested in a specific approach to the problem. Does anyone know if there is material available that discusses using events to model temporal data? (Like the “events” we use in GUI programming.) I’d really like to read some “software-neutral” principles on how events can be used to model time in GIS if this is available. Or, if you have tackled this challenge personally, I’d love to learn more about your personal experience and solutions. Thanks, Landon (A.K.A. – The Sunburned Surveyor) P.S. – I posted about the particular circumstances that led to my interest in this topic and some existing material I found online at my OpenJUMP blog: http://openjump.blogspot.com/ Warning: Information provided via electronic media is not guaranteed against defects including translation and transmission errors.
