Sixth Normal Form

Abstract
Sixth Normal Form (6NF) is a term used in relational database theory by Christopher Date to describe databases which decompose relational variables to irreducible elements. While this form may be unimportant for non-temporal data, it is certainly important when maintaining data containing temporal variables of a point-in-time or interval nature. With the advent of Data Warehousing 2.0 (DW 2.0), there is now an increased emphasis on using fully-temporalized databases in the context of data warehousing, in particular with next generation approaches such as Anchor Modeling . In this paper, we will explore the concepts of temporal data, 6NF conceptual database models, and their relationship with DW 2.0. Further, we will also evaluate Anchor Modeling as a conceptual design method in which to capture temporal data. Using these concepts, we will indicate a path forward for evaluating a possible translation of 6NF-compliant data into an eXtensible Markup Language (XML) Schema for the purpose of describing and presenting such data to disparate systems in a structured format suitable for data exchange.
