Abstract

The temporal data warehouses (TDWs) have been proposed to correctly represent the revisions in dimension data. TDWs manage the evolution of schema and data with time through their versioning by time-stamping the data with valid time. Bi-temporal schema versioning in temporal data warehouses has also been discussed that not only allows retroactive and proactive schema revisions but also keeps track of them. The support for bi-temporal schema versioning raises an important issue for managing and storing the different versions of schema along with their data. The paper proposes an approach for managing bi-temporal schema versions in TDWs to allow for an effective management of several versions of schema along with their data.
