Processing and analysis of spatio-temporal data inside a GIS
Chapter
Abstract
Geographic Information Systems are distinguished from graphics and CAD software packages by the available analysis functions as well as the linkage of geographical and attribute data. The target of all analyses within a GIS can be summarized as the requirement of generating new information by theory-led combination of available data stocks (Strobl 1992: 48). The following chapter discusses basic analysis functions implemented into GIS. We may differentiate between spatial, thematic and temporal queries.
