Abstract
There are many issues to overcome when integrating different data sources due to the number of variables that are involved in the integration phase. However we are interested in the integration of temporal and spatial information due to the nature of modern Information Systems. We have previously developed a model, called STOWL, which is a spatio-temporal extension of OWL. We use this model as the common model for defining the schemes of the data sources in order to ease their integration. This paper presents the part of STOWL which has to do with the definition of n-ary relations.
