Abstract :
A new data structure for the implementation of temporal geographic information systems is presented. This data structure, based on Kantabutra´s ILE database management system, treats both time and place as first-class citizens and utilizes direct linkages among entities that are related to each other. The suggested data structure supports naturally the three types of queries suggested by Peuquet as queries that a temporal GIS database should be able to answer.
