Abstract

In this paper VQL, a language devoted to querying data stored in multiversion databases, is proposed. A multiversion database represents several states of the modeled universe. A formal model of such a database is presented. VQL, which is based on a first order calculus, provides users with the ability of navigating through object versions, and through the states of the universe modeled by the multiversion database.
