Outline • CEGIS Spatio-Temporal Research • What is solved (maybe what worked)? • What is almost solved (but not quite working) • What has failed? • What is missing? • What is next? • CEGIS future research in geospatial and geotemporal data models
Feature-based Spatio-Temporal Data Model • Developed Feature Library • Handles spatial and temporal data • Handles Vector and raster data • Feature-based • Works by loading from existing data, e.g., USGS NHD, ArcGIS Geodatabase, CSV files • Temporal data model for base category data • Work with Yanfen Le; published in CaGIS and ASPRS Manual of GIS
Feature-based Spatio-Temporal Data Model – What didn’t work • Production implementation for The National Map for spatio-temporal model • Interface to existing GIS/image processing systems for feature extraction • Long-term research project • Just beginning to build from other models
Missing? • Robust and effective spatio-temporal data model that works with databases and persistence • Temporal and event-based model for hazards, evacuation, and disaster recovery
