Abstract

We define a family of qualitative spatio-temporal relations such as same-place-same-time and same-path-different-time, which describe the relative location of spatio-temporal objects within places or along paths. The relations in question are approximate, and this means that some of them are context-dependent. We explore the relationships between context, judgments that are made in certain contexts, and the spatio-temporal relations that do occur in those judgments. Understanding these relationships is important for understanding human judgments about spatio-temporal configurations as well as for the interaction of humans with spatio-temporal databases.
