Unlike traditional spatial approaches, the main key feature for query formulation is time, thus improving the investigation on changes occurred in time ranges. Both the functionalities of the system and the data structure on which it is based are described. The system has been tested in the monitoring of Alpine glacier variations: the validation methodology and its results are illustrated as well.Text/Conference Paper
