Spatio-temporal data serves as a foundation for most location-based applications nowadays. To handle spatio-temporal data, an appropriate methodology needs to be properly followed, in which space and time dimensions of data must be taken into account ‘altogether’ – unlike spatial (or temporal) data management tools which consider space (or time) separately and assumes no dependency on one another. In this paper, we conducted a survey on spatial, temporal, and spatio-temporal database research. |
