    There is a thing called a GIS, a geographic information system. It's a database specialised for the task of storing, indexing and searching geographical information such as maps, with Google Maps probably being the largest such system on the planet.

    Did anyone ever implement a TIS? A time information system?

    Most databases won't do much more than index times, dates or both at once, but what of time intervals? What of recurring events? What of the date of Easter? Calendars?
