Semantic Assumptions and Query Evaluation in Temporal Databases
Summary: Formalizes point-based (interpolation) and interval-based (granularity) semantic assumptions in temporal databases, linking implicit data derivation to explicit storage. Presents a translation that rewrites user queries into equivalent system queries over explicit data, preserving results with implicit data; analyzes safety. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
