Abstract :
This paper describes a way of implementing a conceptual model for temporal data on an object database system. In fact, the model which we have proposed is implemented as a class library. Any application can employ the library, because it does not depend on specific applications. Furthermore, we propose an enhanced version of Time Index. Temporal queries including a lot of events are effectively processed with the enhanced Time Index
