N2 - Scientific databases are used to accession objects representing the results of scientific inquiry, such as genes and DNA sequences. These objects must have stable identifiers that can be used as references in scientific papers and other databases. The requirement for stable object identifiers, however, conflicts with the tendency of scientific data to evolve over time. We present in this paper version management faculties that allow scientific databases to achieve a balance between stable object identifiers and evolving data.
