The Gaea System: A Spatio-Temporal Database System for Global Change Studies
نویسندگان
چکیده
The Gaea system is a spatio-temporal database management system under development at Worcester Polytechnic Institute. Gaea is intended to provide advanced data management and analysis to geographical information systems (GIS) for global change studies. We present the objectives and long-term vision of the Gaea project, describe the Gaea system architecture and discuss the current state of development.

Managing Derived Data in the Gaea Scientific DBMS
One important aspect of scientific data management is metadata management. Metadata is information about data (e.g., content, source, processing applied, precision). One kind of metsdata which needs special attention is the data derivation information, i.e., how data are generated. In our application domain of geographical information systems (GIS) and global change research, we view scientific...

The long-term goal of the Gaea project is to develop an extensible, object-oriented data management and analysis system to be used by researchers in the eld of global change [1]. The current goal is to develop a prototype, which can be used by geographers in a user-friendly manner, yet permits integration of heterogeneous and complex data types, and interactive development of sophisticated meth...
متن کاملAnalysis on Geographical Changes and Research on Spatio- Temporal Patterns
As efforts grow to develop spatio-temporal database systems and temporal geographic information systems that are capable of conveying how geographic phenomena change, it is urgent to analyze the impetus and mechanism that the spatio-temporal process happed. The authors proposed a set of universal change patterns for modelling of spatio-temporal processes, which builds a fundamental basis for th...
متن کاملInvestigation of Long Term Trend of Spatio-Temporal changes of Sea Surface Temperature in Oman Sea
Considering the vast application of sea surface temperature in climatic and oceanic investigations, this parameter was studied in Oman Sea from 1986 to 2015. The SST was surveyed using trend analysis and Global and local Moran’s I spatial autocorrelation. In trend analysis, the Mann-Kendall test was used to determine the trend of SST changes and the Sen's Estimator method was used to examine th...
