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]
