It's About Time for Time Mikel Maron [email_address] http://brainoff.com/weblog/ worldKit / OpenStreetMap / GeoRSS FOSS4G, September 15, 2006

The weakness of current cartography is its poor representation of time. The surface of the earth is treated as a static thing. -Anselm Hook http://hook.org/anselm/essays/20060709_limits.html http://www.cityofsound.com/blog/2006/01/two_possible_go.html

Time and Space Have Been A Single Problem For Centuries

GPS is about measuring time too

A Survey and Practical Call for Action Make your Apps Time Cognizant in any small way WMS-Time and GeoRSS are ways in to all this.

WMS for Time Navigation time=2006-09-15+11:07:00 value - a single value value1,value2,value3,... - a list of multiple values. min/max/resolution - an interval defined by its lower and upper bounds and its resolution. min1/max1/res1,min2/max2/res2,... - a list of multiple intervals.

time=2006-09-15+11:07:00

value - a single value

value1,value2,value3,... - a list of multiple values.

min/max/resolution - an interval defined by its lower and upper bounds and its resolution.

min1/max1/res1,min2/max2/res2,... - a list of multiple intervals.
