TempIS: interfacing system for graphical display of temporal databases

The paper presents an interfacing between a temporal database management system (DBMS) and a graphical display system. This integrated system, is called TempIS and consists of a temporal DBMS, a graphical display system, and an interface control system. The temporal DBMS supports time, but conventional DBMS's do not. Therefore, TempIS shows graphical animation with time factor by using a graphical knowledge base. We describe how to interface them as well as the structure of the temporal DBMS and graphical display system.<>
