| Abstract: | |
| An approach for temporal extension of semi-structured data models has been investigated in frame
of the INTAS No 11109 and RFBR No 00-07-90086 projects. Temporal extension of XML (TXML) appeared as an outcome of this research. TXML intention is to define such platform independent temporal
data representation on WWW that various program packages could interchange this data without loss
of semantic content. It is essential that a possibility for representing temporal knowledge on WWW be
provided. We analyze introducing a temporal constituents for XML. XML documents as well as DTD
are represented evolving in time. To each XML construct such as element, attribute, entity, etc. temporal constituent of existence and temporal constituent of belief are attached. TXML is treated as an
XML application. Problems of support of point, interval, relative and periodical events are analyzed.
The semantics of temporal data is rather complicated and generally is defined by some formulae. As
formalisms we use arithmetic of Presburger, temporal logic of Allen and special temporal facilities to
support such events. The encoding of temporal data and knowledge is based on a-calculus.
