Abstract

In this paper, we propose an object-oriented version model which presents temporal concepts to store not only the object lifetime but also the history of dynamic attributes and relationships defined in the versioned objects and versions. One of the main features of our model is the possibility of having two different time orders, branched time for the object and linear time for each version. The model supports integration with existing databases, by allowing the modeling of normal classes among the temporal versioned classes. Finally, an approach to its implementation on top of a commercial database is presented.
