Temporal Modules: An Approach Toward Federated Temporal Databases
Summary: Temporal modules for federated temporal DBs hide representations via two windowing functions: time points to tuples and tuples to time, with a calculus-style query language. Also resolves time-unit mismatches with unit-specific windows, enabling a federated temporal model and extended queries. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
