Modelling Information Preserving Databases: Consequences of the Concept of Time

Summary: Introduces information-preserving databases as histories over time rather than states, extending ER modeling with temporal histories. Develops uncertainty-based inference of unstored past states and analyzes the resulting update semantics. (summarized by gpt-5.6-luna on Jul 24 2026)
