This article introduces an online bibliography on temporal GIS, a research area in which different scientific fields and researchers have provided substantial results and literature over the past few years. We first define the scientific domain of temporal GIS, its origin and recent evolution, and the context of this bibliography. Then, the components and functionalities of the web-based application that support the online bibliography are described. The bibliography, entitled TimeBliography, is accessible on the Web at http:// spaceandtime.wsiabato.info.

“…As Yuan (, p. 173) points out, “since the mid‐ to late 1980s, researchers in both GIS and database management have been examining ways to incorporate time into information systems”. Three approaches have attempted to incorporate time into a database: the traditional (snapshot), the object‐oriented, and the event‐oriented (Figure ).…”

In information systems, ontologies promise advantages such as enhanced interoperability, knowledge sharing, and integration of data sources. In this article, we show that the upper ontology Basic Formal Ontology can facilitate the modeling of an evolution of administrative units. This is demonstrated by creating a spatiotemporal ontology for the administrative units of Switzerland. The ontology tackles the problem that the geometric data is typically captured by taking snapshots at regular intervals while the thematic data is continually updated. The ontology presented merges time‐stamped geometries with a formally described history of administrative units, allowing for complex spatiotemporal queries neither standard approach would support. The resulting populated knowledge base was evaluated against a set of spatiotemporal test queries. The evaluation showed that this knowledge base supports a wide range of queries on the evolution of the administrative units of Switzerland between 1960 and 2010.

“…Figure 4 illustrates the calculations of the MC, SDC, and SDE for all 26 dated graves, for the time intervals 1000, 800, 600, and 400 BC. Although time, and especially the time range of 14 C dates, is difficult to incorporate in a GIS environment (Yuan 2008), an attempt was made to visualize the spatial development of the site in time in a single raster surface ( Figure 5). Therefore, point estimates of the calibrated 14 C dates were made to obtain a single calibrated year (Telford et al 2004;Michczynski 2007).…”

ABSTRACT. The possibility of radiocarbon dating on cremated bones stimulated a systematic 14 C dating project investigating the chronology of Late Bronze Age and Early Iron Age urnfield cemeteries in Belgium. The growing amount of 14 C dates on these cremated remains led to new insights into the chronology, development, and disappearance of the urnfield phenomenon. Consequently, ideas about cultural and historical processes need to be modified. Also, the internal chronology of the cemeteries is much more complex than previously thought, stimulating the need for techniques to analyze and visualize the internal development of an individual burial site. The application of centrographic methods like the mean center, standard distance circle, and standard deviational ellipse illustrates the possibilities for analyzing the internal chronology of the cemeteries based on the available 14 C dates.
