Abstract

This paper introduces a model to store semi-structured data while documenting its semantic changes over time. The paper also presents algorithms for querying semantic evolved data, which conciliate the multiple versions the data may have. An implementation of the model and algorithms, MellowDB, was developed, and its performance was analyzed, showing the proposed algorithms and model are feasible.
