Abstract
Although many temporal extensions to the relational data model have been proposed, there is no comparable amount of work in the context of object-oriented data models. This paper presents T_Chimera, a temporal extension of the Chimera data model. The main contribution of this work is to define a formal temporal object-oriented data model and to address on a formal basis several issues deriving from the introduction of time in an object-oriented context.
