DEVELOPING GIS TOOL TO MANAGE TEMPORAL GEOSPATIAL DATA

Abstract

 Despite considerable research, GIS remains two-dimensional or three-dimensional operation, with limiting capability in working with time dimension. As an additional effort in temporal GIS research, the Author adapts “Base State with Amendments Model” and develops corresponding temporal GIS module for managing historical parcel data. This module, based on ArcObject of ArcGIS, allows to rebuild and display parcel historical tree or to rebuild parcel region state at a specific point in time. Illustration results prove great potential in applying temporal GIS module in temporal parcel data management.
