"Ouranos 4D Spatio-temporal ID" (abbreviated as Spatio-temporal ID) serves as an index for easily integrating, retrieving, and freely distributing a wide variety of spatial information (including temporal information). "Spatio-temporal ID" is a combination of "Spatial ID," which is an identifier in three-dimensional space, and "Temporal ID," which is an identifier in the time axis. Spatial ID applies to the entire Earth, and IPA is promoting its international standardization.

Introducing Spatial ID, an identifier that uniquely represents location information across all spatial domains on the Earth—including the air, the ground, the underground, indoors, and the sea.
By using Spatial ID, it becomes easier to search and aggregate spatial attribute information based on different standards, enabling the integration and interoperability of diverse spatial data.
