ISO-TimeML: An International Standard for Semantic Annotation
James D. Pustejovsky, Ki Yong Lee, Harry Bunt, Laurent Romary · 2010
In this paper, we present ISO-TimeML, a revised and interoperable version of the temporal markup language, TimeML.We describe the changes and enrichments made, while framing the effort in a more general methodology of semantic annotation.In particular, we assume a principled distinction between the annotation of an expression and the representation which that annotation denotes.This involves not only the specification of an annotation language for a particular phenomenon, but also the development of a meta-model that allows one to interpret the syntactic expressions of the specification semantically.
