Study on Effective Temporal Data Retrieval Leveraging Complex Indexed Architecture
Round 1
Reviewer 1 Report
The paper entitled: “Temporal data management and retrieval” provides some information to justify publication. Specifically, it provides an interesting approach to temporal data management by using indexes. However, there is a major problem: it is not clear what the specific research questions are. Unfortunately, the article is not well designed. This paper does not have common parts of the paper: Literature Review, Data, Methodology, Result, Discussion, Conclusion. The paper contains elements of those parts, but it is necessary to make order information.
The research problem and questions are not formally stated.
The methodology section is too long. It would be better for this section shorten and leave the proposed solution, and remove the information about various research, papers. It could be found in the literature review. It is very good to see a lot of figures. The whole view of methodology would be useful for readers, users.
Additional annotations of figures:
• Figure 2. – in description (line 76-77) “The evaluation consists of three phases.” And on figure 2. the authors show 4 phases.
• Figure 5. – the description (line 268-275) is not clear. Try to use the same name and abbreviation in the text and the figure. What do arrows mean? What does red/black color mean? Put attention on each figure. How do the left and right sides of the figure correspond?
• Figure 6. – What does the broad arrow mean?
• Figure 8. – What does BOT mean?
• Figure 9. – the names on the figure and in the text (line 655-670) are different (the manager handler – management hander). Line 669 – Core internal elements are colored – not only core internal (grey), the data too (green).
• Figure 10. – it is not clear. The phases were not described in the text.
• Figure 11. – it is not clear. Too many cross lines, arrows. What does the dotted arrow mean?
• Figure 18. – please add values.
In the performance evaluation (the result) - an example of the query and answer would be interesting to see.
References – it is a lack of DOI.
Taking everything into account, the authors have tackled a valuable topic. If the authors organize the paper, a unique article may be created.

Reviewer 2 Report
Dear Authors,
The paper is well organized and clear now. The results seem very interest in the aim and scope of the journal. In my opinion, the paper is ready for publication after some minor edits. I acknowledge and congratulate the authors for their significant efforts and the time they spent on the revision of the Manuscript. The minor concerns that need correction before publication of this manuscript are given below.
- Please make the abstract a bit more concise if possible, by retaining just main key points of the proposed study, and main assertions.
- Please provide organization as a separate paragraph.
- Please remove the empty pages (26,31), and featured application part (if not exist).
- The ‘Proposed improvement’ heading can possibly be numbered for better readability, and subsequent headings/subheadings.
- Title can possibly be modified to, ‘A Study on effective temporal data retrieval leveraging complex indexed architecture’. Authors can use the same title too.
