STOQL: An ODMG-Based Spatio-Temporal Object Model and Query Language
نویسندگان
چکیده
Spatio-temporal databases are a topic of growing research interest but there is still little work reported on spatio-temporal query languages in line with the Object Database Management Group (ODMG) standard. This paper presents the design of such a language, called STOQL, by adding spatial and temporal dimensions to OQL. This language is based upon a data model that extends the ODMG Object Model with basic spatial and temporal types as well as a parameterised type, Temporal, which lifts spatial types into spatio-temporal types to support the representation of the history of an object. We show that STOQL can support the formulation of various spatio-temporal queries in relation to historical states of spatial objects as well as spatial changes including spatial type substitution.

Querying Multigranular Spatio-temporal Objects
The integrated management of both spatial and temporal components of information is crucial in order to extract significant knowledge from datasets concerning phenomena of interest to a large variety of applications. Moreover, multigranularity, i.e., the capability of representing information at different levels of detail, enhances the data modelling flexibility and improves the analysis of inf...
متن کاملThe Tripod spatio-historical data model
The storage and analysis of large amounts of time-varying spatial and aspatial data is becoming an important feature of many application domains. This has fuelled the need for spatio-temporal extensions to data models and their associated querying facilities. To date, much of this work has focused on the relational data model, with object data models receiving far less consideration. Where desc...
متن کاملA Query Calculus for Spatio-Temporal Object Databases
The development of any comprehensive proposal for spatio-temporal databases involves significant extensions to many aspects of a non-spatio-temporal architecture. One aspect that has received less attention than most is the development of a query calculus that can be used to provide a semantics for spatio-temporal queries and underpin an effective query optimization and evaluation framework. In...
متن کاملTV_ODMG: Uma Extensão do Padrão ODMG com Suporte para Tempo e Versões
This work presents an extension of the ODMG standard, called TV_ODMG. This extension aims to support object versioning and temporal features, like transaction and valid times. The extension is based on the Temporal Versions Model, an object-oriented data model that keeps object versions and, for each version, the history of the dynamic properties values. Therefore, some components of the ODMG a...
متن کاملTemporal Extension to ODMG
the past years a number of temporal extensions to the different database models have been proposed. Extensions to the relational model have been following the different SQL standards, while no attempts have been made to extend the OO-databases' standard, defined by ODMG. In this paper we present a temporal extension to the ODMG standard, as this has been specified in the TOOBIS project. A Tempo...
