This paper gives a formalization of the various modeling constructs that support the design of temporal DBMS. We conduct a deep investigation on evolu- tion constraints, eventually devising a model-theoretic s emantics for a full-fledged model with both timestamping and evolution constraints. Furthermore, we also show how to express temporal constraints using a subset of fir st-order temporal logic, i.e., the temporal description logic DLRUS .
