Introducing an Annotated Bibliography on Temporal and Evolution Aspects in the Semantic Web

摘要

Time is a pervasive dimension of reality as everything evolves as time elapses. Therefore, Web-based information systems and knowledge representation tools at least mirror, and often have to capture, the time-varying and evolutionary nature of the phenomena they model and of the activities they support. This aspect has been acknowledged and long studied in the field of temporal databases [Jensen and Snodgrass 2009] but it truly applies also to the World Wide Web and Semantic Web in particular.
