A substantial number of temporal extensions to data models and query languages have been proposed. However, little attention has been paid to the migration of data and applications from a “snapshot” DBMS to a temporal extension of it.

We then present a temporal extension of the ODMG’s object database standard fulfilling these requirements. Throughout this presentation, we underscore the importance of providing adequate update and interpolation modalities in achieving application migration support.Read the full paper here: https://link.springer.com/chapter/10.1007/3-540-48054-4_3
