Data organization approach to spatio-temporal GIS in campus real estate

摘要

Driving by a happened event, entities vary from one state to another. Based on the rule, this paper analyzed the relations between events of entities and its states, and made an improvement on base state with amendments model. The improved model is named as multi base state with amendments model. The key idea of this method is to build more than one historical base state according to the frequency of event happens and the amount of data updates. And for the state between every historical base state, we merely stored the changed part but did not re-store the unchanged part. It overcomes the weakness of snapshot method which leads a great deal of redundant data, and also overcomes the drawback of base state with amendments method which will need a great amount of complex computation when historical state is rebuild. This model has been successfully applied to organize the spatio-temporal data of GIS in campus real estate information system. It is very convenient to rebuild house historical state.
