Abstract In this paper we present preliminary results of a study of events represented in portions of the Emergency Department (ED) patient record. An advantage to working in such a specific domain is that we can use domain knowledge to reveal events that are not explicitly mentioned in the record. In addition, domain assumptions and constraints can be used to identify or clarify temporal characteristics of events, allowing more precise placement on an event timeline.
