Abstract
In this paper an iconic notation for describing the composition between the relations of a new qualitative representation model based on trajectories in two dimensions is presented. This qualitative representation model represents a new intuitive approach for describing the spatiotemporal features of two mobile entities through the relations between its trajectories. In order to describe the composition between relations in terms of a transitivity operation, an iconic notation derived from the Conceptual Neighborhood Graph is provided. Finally, in order to illustrate this iconic notation, some examples of composition between relations are presented.
