Subject: benchmark queries

I feel that having particpants confine themselves to one
or two categories from the taxonomy is unnecessarily
restrictive. Someone may be interested in queries that
they think are important to temporal databases but which
may not fall into the particular category/class assigned
to him or her. Moreover, like other particpants, I too
believe that the proposed taxonomy is somewhat confusing,
and perhaps unnecesary at this stage of the benchamrk
development.
Therefore, I suggest that particpants be allowed to
propose queries which they think are important to temporal
databases without having to worry about whether or not
they conform to a certain category. If each participant
contributes say 10 queries I think we can get a good and
diverse set of benchmark queries. This way it will be
easier to achieve consensus and the whole process will be
speeded up.
Later on, we can come up with an appropriate
taxonomy, and see if all classes/categories were
appropriately represented.
Comments are welcome.
