The representation and understanding of the movement semantics of moving objects is a key issue for developing more accurate and efficient applications for Location Based
Services, fleet control and so on. This field became very important for researching in the area of Database and Artificial Intelligence. There are many proposals related with algorithms and techniques for this vein, most of them have been implemented on tools, but they are not in sight of researching community and not available for widely usage. In this paper we present a survey on tools for representing moving objects and reasoning on their movement semantics, analyzing proposals from the database context to recent artificial intelligence ones. Our main goal is to clarify the existence and importance of those unknown tools with high impact on representing moving objects considering the semantics of the movement for spatio-temporal analysis.
