Abstract
Time is a basic measure used to quantify the motions of objects, to compare the durations of events, and to sequence events. Temporal behaviors of spatial objects have occupied geoinformatic’s minds and this motivation can be seen in temporal GIS (Geospatial Information System) and navigation. This article focuses on a mathematical abstraction for calculating periods of time. Uncertainty in temporal intervals is considered and temporal relationships are defined based on rough set theory as a powerful device to handle the indeterminate time interval.
