Schema Evolution publication categorizer

The issues of schema evolution and temporal object models are generally considered to
be orthogonal and are handled independently. This is unrealistic because to properly model
applications that need incremental design and experimentation (such as CAD, software design
process), the evolutionary histories of the schema objects should be traceable. In this paper we
propose a method for managing schema changes by exploiting the functionality of a temporal
object model. The result is a uniform treatment of schema evolution and temporal support for
many object database management systems applications that require both.
