Multi-scale analysis for spatio-temporal data forms a fundamental challenge for many analytic systems. In geographic information systems, analysis and modeling at pre-defined spatial and temporal scales may miss critical relationships in other scales. Previous studies have investigated the uses of the triangle model as a multi-scale framework in analyzing temporal data. This article demonstrates the utilities of the triangle model and pyramid model for multi-scale spatial analysis through real-world analytical tasks and discusses the potential of developing a unified modeling framework that integrates the two models.
