The article surveys Dynamic Heterogeneous Graph Representation Learning (DHGRL), a field that tackles the challenges of modeling evolving, multi‑type networks. It introduces a unified definition covering both discrete‑time and continuous‑time DHGs, and proposes an algorithm‑centric taxonomy that groups methods into embedding‑based, GNN‑based, and Transformer‑based approaches, highlighting their biases toward temporal granularity. The survey also reviews key applications, datasets, benchmarks, and outlines future research directions.
