To manage temporal raster, raster3d and vector objects, three new datatypes will be added to GRASS GIS: Spacetime raster, vector and voxel datasets. Additionally thematic spatio-temporal datasets will be added to handle thematic related spacetime datasets of different type. | |||

The new spacetime datasets are handled like raster or vector maps. They are registered in mapset specific tables with creation and modification date and absolute/relative time stamp. | |||
=== Raster spacetime datasets === | |||
The raster spacetime datasets store raster map specific attributes and metadata: | |||
* The spatial extent (e, w, n, s) | |||
* The temporal extent (start and end time or duration) | |||
* The data range (min and max) | |||
* The raster datatype (CELL, FCELL, DCELL, MIXED) | |||
All these table entries are computed or updated via trigger from all registered raster maps when maps are added or removed. | |||
Table layout: | |||
The base spacetime tables are equal to the raster/vector and raster3d one. | |||
* '''Spacetime metadata raster table''' | |||
** '''id''' the name of the spacetime raster table | |||
** '''temporal type''' relative or absolute | |||
** '''Raster register table name''' the name of the table storing the ids (names) of all registered raster maps | |||
** '''spatial extent''' (4 columns: e, w, s,n) of all registered raster maps | |||
** '''temporal exten'''t of all registered raster maps | |||
** '''data range''' of all registered raster maps | |||
** ... | |||
=== Raster3d spacetime datasets === | |||
The raster3d spacetime tables are equal to the raster spacetime tablse, except that the spatial extent is computed based on east, west, south, north, top and bottom. | |||
=== Vector spacetime datasets === | |||
== New temporal modules == | |||
New temporal modules must be implemented for registration and un-registration and extraction of raster, voxel and vector maps in spacetime datasets: | |||
* {{cmd|tr.register|version=70}}, {{cmd|tr.unregister|version=70}}, {{cmd|tr.extract|version=70}} | |||
* {{cmd|t3.register|version=70}}, {{cmd|t3.unregister|version=70}}, {{cmd|t3.extract|version=70}} | |||
* {{cmd|tv.register|version=70}}, {{cmd|tv.unregister|version=70}}, {{cmd|tv.extract|version=70}} | |||
* Spacetime modules for resampling, interpolation, time stamp snapping and extraction must be implemented. | |||

Extraction is based on where SQL statements or specific time stamps. Interpolated maps are created or existing map ids will be returned. | Extraction is based on where SQL statements or specific time stamps. Interpolated maps are created or existing map ids will be returned. | ||
