This Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase I project will investigate the feasibility of developing temporal extensions to a commercial Geographic Information System (GIS). In many fields, temporal information is a key part of the domain models. For instance, a demographer studying population changes, an environmental biologist investigating migration patterns, or a public official looking for patterns of criminal activity all need a system that can work with data that have both spatial and temporal dimensions. Temporal extensions would leverage the strength of an existing GIS system and market demand for spatio-temporal support is growing, but response by GIS vendors has been minimal.The research will lead to the development of a marketable product in the form of extension software to be sold to current and future customers of existing GIS systems. The range of application includes natural resource management, meteorology, agriculture, health, archeology, crime detection and prevention, urban development, and other applications in government, military, and corporate environments.

这个小企业创新研究（SBIR）第一阶段项目将研究开发商业地理信息系统（GIS）的时间扩展的可行性。 在许多领域中，时态信息是领域模型的重要组成部分。 例如，研究人口变化的人口统计学家，调查移民模式的环境生物学家，或寻找犯罪活动模式的政府官员都需要一个可以处理具有空间和时间维度的数据的系统。 时态扩展将利用现有GIS系统的优势，市场对时空支持的需求正在增长，但GIS供应商的反应一直很小，这项研究将导致开发一种可销售的产品，以扩展软件的形式出售给现有GIS系统的当前和未来客户。 应用范围包括自然资源管理、气象学、农业、卫生、考古学、犯罪侦查和预防、城市发展以及政府、军事和企业环境中的其他应用。
