Temporality is an inherent aspect of geo-information, but until recently it has been relatively neglected by GIS research,
and the emphasis being on the spatial dimensions.In this paper we reviewed the research on Temporal GIS through Geographic spatial
-temporal cognition, spatial-temporal topological relationship, theory on spatial-temporal GIS, spatial-temporal data model,
and dynamic processes modeling, etc.Finally, we prospected the issues in advanced research about Temporal GIS.
