Finnish Spatio-Temporal Ontology (SAPO) is an ontology time series of Finnish municipalities over the time interval 1865–2010. Modeling these changes can be done using ontology time-series that represents knowledge about changes (e.g. merges, splits) in historical regions (e.g. cities, counties) and a method to help creating geospatial ontology time-series.
