Abstract

The 3 Dimensional Information Space (3DIS) is a rich, extensible, object database model for information management. Here, we concentrate on extending the 3DIS to incorporate the semantics of time, and to support temporal data and the temporal evolution of data. We present a unique approach towards the synthesis of an integrated 3DIS model that supports the temporal aspects of data modeling in addition to the structural and dynamic ones, while preserving its original three dimensional geometric space features. This research presents a step towards defining the concepts and techniques for incorporating time in object databases, and provides a concrete experimental framework for demonstration thereof.
