A Temporal Knowledge Representation Model OSAM*/T and Its Query Language OQL/T

Summary: Introduces OSAM*/T, an object-oriented temporal knowledge model extending OSAM* with object time-stamping, histories, rule-based temporal requirements, and separate current/historical data. OQL/T adds temporal functions, interval comparisons, and set operators for querying complex evolving objects. (summarized by gpt-5.6-luna on Jul 24 2026)
