The temporal evidence pattern supports two types of evidence changes: evidence corrections and changes in circumstance.
The temporal evidence pattern supports a succession of changes in circumstance to the same evidence object. For example, the set of changes to a bank account balance, each in succession of each other, collectively represent the changes to the bank account object.
Participant evidence is much more static than case evidence. As such, when editing participant evidence data the changes are recorded in place and instead of an in-edit record being created, the changes are recorded in place. A copy of the record prior to making this change is stored, which provides a history of changes made to the participant data.
