V2: a database approach to temporal document management

Temporal document databases are interesting in a number of contexts, in general document databases as well as more specialized applications like temporal XML/Web warehouses. In order to efficiently manage temporal document versions, a temporal document database system should be employed. In this paper, we describe the V2 temporal document database system, which supports storage, retrieval, and querying of temporal documents. We also give some performance results from a mini-benchmark run on the V2 prototype.
