After developing a China-wide dataset for the year 1820, the
CHGIS project has been working on production of time-differentiated
datasets, going backwards in time to the earliest available
records wherever possible. The new temporal datasets are being
produced region by region, starting with the southeast coastal
area and moving north and northwest to the Central China plain.
Currently we have finished draft versions of all administrative
district changes for the areas overlapping modern Fujian,
Zhejiang, Jiangsu, and parts of Anhui, Shandong and Hebei.
This presentation will use ECAI TimeMap software to demonstrate
browsing and searching of the time-differentiated datasets,
and will introduce the CHGIS simplified spatio-temporal data
model, and the methodology for temporal-coding of "fuzzy"
date values.
