Hi all,
in the last weeks Soeren and I worked intensively on the concept for the temporal algebra in GRASS. I created a wiki page with an overview of our concept open for discussion:
http://trac.osgeo.org/grass/wiki/Grass7/TemporalGISAlgebra
Additionally I uploaded a first version of the new created module v.mapcalc to my GSoC project page at code.google:
https://code.google.com/p/grass-gis-temporal-algebra/
This module provides an algebra for overlay and buffer functions on vector map layers based on PLY (Python Lex-Yacc) and PyGRASS.
In the next step, we will develop the temporal algebra and combine the vector algebra with it to derive the temporal vector algebra module t.vect.mapcalc.
We are looking forward to your comments
Best regards
Thomas
