Context:

In the last decade, databases have evolved so much that we no longer speak only of spatial databases, but also of spatial and temporal databases. This means that the event or record has a spatial or localization variable and a temporality variable, which allows updating the previously stored record.

Method:

This paper presents a bibliographic review about concepts, spatio-temporal data models, specifically the models of data in movement.

Results:

Taxonomic considerations of the queries are presented in the models of data in movement, according to the persistence of the query (time, location, movement, object and patterns), as well as the different proposals of indexes and structures.

Conclusions:

The implementation of model proposals, such as indexes and structures, can lead to standardization problems. This is why it should be standardized under the standards and standards of the OGC (Open Geospatial Consortium).
