Abstract

A method, system, and computer program product are provided for identifying data objects related to temporal characteristics. A first data object that has been previously stored is identified. The first data object has one or more associated temporal characteristics. At least one associated temporal characteristic is extracted from the first data object, thus, forming at least one extracted temporal characteristic. The at least one associated temporal characteristic is extracted in order to perform a search for at least one second data object. A search is performed for at least one second data object based on the at least one extracted temporal characteristic. The results of the search are presented in a graphical user interface.
