Temporal Query Languages

Temporal query languages are specialized tools used to retrieve and analyze data that changes over time. They allow users to ask questions not only about the current state of data but also about its past or future states, capturing temporal aspects such as when changes occurred. This is essential for applications like tracking historical records, monitoring evolving trends, or planning based on future data. Think of it as a way to "time-travel" through data, enabling more nuanced insights by considering the dimension of time alongside traditional data attributes.
