Temporal data refers to data, where changes over time or temporal aspects play a central role or are of interest.
Definitions
Temporal data is data that varies over time.
[Jensen and Snodgrass, 1999]
A temporal data denotes the evolution of an object characteristic over a period of time.
[Daassi and Nigay, 2004]
Time dependent data is characterized by data elements being a function of time. In general, data takes the form
- d = f(t)
For data defined at discrete time stamps ti, this relation can be represented as:
- D = {(t1, d1),( t2, d2), ..., (tn, dn)}
- where
- di = f(ti)
[Müller and Schumann, 2003]
Time-series are a part of the broader field of time-oriented data:
Time series data is characterized by data elements being a function of time. In general, this data takes the following form:
- D = {(t1, y1),( t2, y2), ..., (tn, yn)}
- with
- yi = f(ti)
[Weber et al., 2001]
Synonyms
- temporal data
- time-oriented data
- time-varying data
- time-dependent data
