After the introduction and development of the relational database model between 1970 and the 1980s, this model proved to be insufficiently expressive for specific applications dealing with, for instance, temporal data, spatial data and multi-media data. From the mid-1980s, this has led to the development of domain-specific database systems, the first being temporal databases, later followed by spatial database systems.
