Abstract
In this paper we address problems of managing data warehouses (DWs) that evolve in time and we demonstrate that transactional maintenance of evolving DWs is inevitable. To this end, we propose a nested transaction model. In this model we define 5 types of transactions each of which is responsible for certain tasks. The tasks and properties of these transactions are characterized in the paper.
