Zusammenfassung:In the past five years, numerous schemes have been proposed to support temporal information processing in database management systems by incorporating one or more time attributes. However, there has been some confusion concerning terminology and the definition of these time attributes.

Using the taxonomy, they define four types of databases, differentiated by their ability to support these time concepts and processing of temporal information.
