Abstract
This application relates to automatic processes that service data requests for information related to an item during varying temporal periods. For example, a computing device receives first attributes for an item, and generates a first surrogate key and a first super surrogate key based on the first attributes. Further, the computing device generates a first entry within a first table that includes the first surrogate key and the first super surrogate key. The computing device joins the first table to a second table based on natural keys. The computing device also receives second attributes for the item, and generates a second surrogate key for the item based on the second attributes. Further, the computing device generates a second entry within the first table that includes the second surrogate key and the first super surrogate key. The computing device also adjusts the first super surrogate key within the first entry.
