Additional details about Datoms:

To determine whether a Datom is being rectracted or added there is a fifth element in the tuple [0].

There are many similarities to modelling temporal data in SQL [1]. But Datoms are simpler and more open as you can freely build relations between them (composable), similar to a graph-db.
