There has also been some research in the topic of benchmarks for Temporal Databases, but those have been focused in evaluating the semantic expressiviness of a query language and/or the TDB model capabilities. Thus far, we have not seen much been done to design benchmarks to evaluate indexing structures for TDBs though. The goal in this paper is to provide a framework to benchmark indexing structures/algorithms for TDBs. We also present ways to generate application independent test data, which are to be used in the benchmarking process. The framework presented can be applied to benchmark bitemporal databases as well.  aDatabases  aBases de dados temporais  aIndexação de algoritmos1 aELMASRI, R.1 aNASCIMENTO, M. A.1 aSOBOL, M.
