Abstract

We develop here several notions in order to define, store and manipulate historical data in generalized or multi-media databases i.e databases which are able to handle non-classical data (text, image, voice).

For a given database object X, an history is a sequence of the successive values that X took accross time. This notion has been studied before but here, we generalize histories by considering different types of database objects. Particularly, we apply the history notion to multi-media documents and we propose extensions for data definition and manipulation languages.

The following points are discussed: definition of object histories (periodicity, persistency), propagation of historicity, update and history management, history and schema modification.
