Zusammenfassung:	Multidimensional file structures designed for storing point data can be used to store spatial objects if the objects can be transformed into n-dimensional points. We adapt this transformation technique to design a flexible indexing technique for temporal databases. This approach can be used to support valid-time, transaction-time, and bitemporal indices. The evaluation of various kinds of temporal selections on such indices is discussed, and we present an experimental comparison with an indexing technique for valid-time databases.
