There are some researches that explore and help to solve the representation of moving objects, mainly focused on improving DBMS and Query Languages for support spatio-temporal information storing and processing. Some other researches present techniques to analyze trajectories using data mining, indexing and math operations. More recently, with the emergence of the Semantic Web, the tracking of trajectories of moving objects became a fully applicational field and an open area for ontology applications. This paper explores moving objects representation and reasoning, aiming to find out foundations for a semantic representation of moving objects approach, for solving some existing problems when considering spatio-temporal aspects and semantically enrich query results over any stored information of moving objects.
