This is a simulated temporal data set, which models the evolution of employees (change of title, salary, and deptno), and departments (change of mgrno) in a company, from 1985-01-01 to now. The history is temporally grouped, and represented as XML format. The employees' history is cut into small XML documents, of similar sizes. The departments' history is stored in departments.xml. The schemas of the documents are in employees.xsd, and departments.xsd respectively. Files in the archive include: departments.xml employees.xsd departments.xsd employees.tar.gz (uncompressed as three folders of XML documents of employees, of size 335MB, with 500,000 employees) For questions, please contact author: Fusheng Wang Siemens Corporate Research 755 College Road East Princeton, NJ 08540 USA Tel: +1 (609)734-4464 Email: fusheng . wang @ siemens . com
