For questions about the JavaScript Temporal API, please use the `ecmascript-temporal` tag. For the Temporal Workflow engine, use the `temporal-workflow` tag. For SQL Server's Temporal tables, use `temporal-tables`.

- temporal-tables — Temporal Tables are a special type of tables providing system-versioned storage, introduced in SQL Server 2016.
- temporal-database — A temporal database is a storage scheme that provide built-in support for time-related data, such valid-time, transaction-time and decision-time. Also see bi-temporal for the specific sub-class of temporal databases designed to handle historical data along two different timelines.
- hierarchical-temporal-memory — Hierarchical Temporal Memory (HTM) is a biologically-constrained theory of intelligence originally described in the book On Intelligence.
