Abstract
AbstractSpace and time are two outstanding dimensions because, in conjunction, they represent the four-dimensional space or simply the world we are living in. Basically, every piece of data we measure is related and often only meaningful within the context of space and time. Consider, for example, the price of a barrel of oil. The data value of $129 alone is not very useful. Only if assessed in the context of where (space) and when (time) is the oil price valid, and only then it is possible to meaningfully interpret the cost of $129.
