A Method for Transforming TimeER Model-Based Specification into Temporal XML

Abstract

Time is an attribute of the phenomenon in the real world because the information we receive always changes with time. In this paper, we propose a method to transform specifications in TimeER model into XML schema by transforming the temporal entities, temporal attributes and temporal relationships in a TimeER model to XML schema. Our transformation approach is based on the improvement of the transformation methods from ER model to XML schema and the addition of the transforming rules for the temporal components of the TimeER model.
