[postgis-users] PostGIS as a solution for non-geographic x-y or temporal data ?

[Rémi Cura]

You want to map your dimension
(time, note_pitch) to (X,Y) ?

It seems really difficult to achieve if for instance you would consider a C
and a C up an octave closer than a C and a D.

And if you consider
(time,note_pitch) to (X=time, Y = [A-G], Z = [1-8]) ,
Lot's of function in postgis doesn't work well with Z.

Moreover, distance between geometry (serei of not ein your case) in postgis
are rather limited to
_what you can come up with
_*ST_HausdorffDistance*()
(you could use R to create your own distances)

I'm not an expert but lots of work in GIS rearch is devoted to time serie,
mainly GPS trace (X,Y,Z,timestamp).
It seems that Grass GIS has a module for it :
