Abstract

A formal algebra is essential for applying standard database-style query optimization to XML queries. We propose a spatiotemporal XML data model and develop such an algebra based on Native XML, for manipulating spatiotemporal XML data. After studying NXD spatiotemporal database and query framework, formal representation of spatiotemporal query algebra is investigated, containing logical structure of spatiotemporal database, data type system, and querying operations. It shows that the model and algebra lay a firm foundation for managing spatiotemporal XML data.

Semantics Of Spatiotemporal Data

Spatiotemporal data have a set of characteristics that make them distinctly different from the more familiar lists and tables of alphanumeric data used in traditional business applications. In the case of spatiotemporal data, we measure it by five dimensions according to characteristics of spatiotemporal data (Bai, Yan, Ma, 2013). The dimensions of spatiotemporal data contain OID, ATTR, P, M, and T.
