Abstract
Several different models for spatial indeterminacy have been presented. However, none of them are to the authors’ knowledge capable of modelling spatiotemporal information. This paper will describe a way to extend a model for uncertain spatial data so that it also handles spatiotemporal data. This paper will also look at many of the operations for spatiotemporal data and see how well they translate to the uncertain case. The operations are defined mathematically for a model for uncertain spatial data by the same authors.
