Time is an omnipresent objective attribute in nature. With the deep development of database technology, temporal information processing has become a key technology for new-generation databases and information systems such as e-government, e-commerce, and data warehouses. After more than 20 years of research and practice, temporal database technology has evolved into a unique discipline within the field of databases. This book systematically introduces the basic concepts, fundamental theories, main technologies, and software development of temporal databases, including data indexing techniques, temporal knowledge representation and logical methods, and temporal database management systems. It concludes with an introduction to a typical temporal application example.
This book is the first specialized work on databases in China, offering unique reference value for relevant personnel. It provides a comprehensive understanding of temporal database theoretical research and offers new methods and ideas for related application development. The book can serve as a textbook for computer science graduate students and senior undergraduate students, as well as a reference for related research and development personnel.
