Abstract

In temporal XML databases, a retroactive update (i.e., modifying or deleting a past element) due to a detected error means that the database has included erroneous information during some period and, therefore, its consistency should be restored by correcting all errors and inconsistencies that have occurred in the past. Indeed, all processing that have been carried out during the inconsistency period and have used erroneous information have normally produced erroneous information. In this paper, we propose an approach which preserves data consistency in temporal XML databases. More precisely, after any retroactive update, the proposed approach allows (i) detecting and analyzing periods of database inconsistency, which result from that update, and (ii) repairing of all inconsistencies and recovery of all side effects.
