Domain-specific

• Bitemporal modeling
  • Bitemporal modeling represents facts with two independent temporal dimensions: valid time records when a fact is true in the modeled reality, and transaction or system time records when that version is stored or believed by the database.

Mechanisms

• Bitemporal Event Register
  • The valid-time / transaction-time distinction it implements is the established model for exactly this.

    This sourceDefines valid time and transaction time as the two established temporal dimensions for recording when facts hold and when they are stored.

Verification

Does it exist? Confirmed. This work's DOI resolves to a registered record, which fixes its identity. That is all it fixes.

Does it back the claim? Not recorded. Neither this nor any other of the 2 citations of this work carries a recorded support check.

Was it audited? Yes. A second, independent pass read the citation against the article text and recorded a verdict.

Support is checked per citation rather than per work — the same source can be cited soundly in one article and wrongly in another. Per-citation recording began recently, so a citation with no recorded check is a gap in the record rather than evidence it went unchecked.
