GIS and spatio temporal modelling
Hi
I am new to GIS but I am surprised when I find the following statement in a paper. Is thie following statements still valid or this is old. Please let me know. Thanks
While GISs provide some extensive tools for analysis of spatial data, their capabilities for spatio-temporal modelling, and hence the handling of temporal data, have been considered limited. GISs were formerly known to handle time or dynamic variations in a process poorly. Adhering to this view, GISs, with their standard functionality, do not explicitly allow dynamic processes to be captured and analyzed. GISs have been traditionally associated with maps, and the capabilities of a contemporary GISs represent map-related ideas of layers, projections and generalizations.
