The paper presents the infological database design method using the kinematic approach based on using space-time coordinates of objects as globally unique identifiers, and modelling of objects movement and interaction as sequences of spatio-temporal coordinates. The limitations of the “entity-relationship” diagrams application to spatio-temporal data modelling are described and possible solutions are given. The paper has analyzed the possibilities of periodic processes modelling and the applicability of the kinematic approach to modeling objects of different nature (both physical and informational) that have different kinematic characteristics (static, quasi-static and dynamic objects). Kinematic-based entities and relationships for university and corporate information systems are described.

Key words: infological database design, information objects, the life cycle of information objects, the conditions of interaction of objects, “entity-relationship” diagram, kinematic representation of the objects, the space-time trajectory of the object, a kinematic
