A Uniform Approach to Processing Temporal Queries

Summary: Uniform temporal query processing on an object-oriented model with a single language for temporal and non-temporal queries. An object-algebra maps queries to relational operators, enabling optimization; temporal storage and access demand new algorithms. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
