ISO-TimeML: An International Standard for Semantic Annotation
نویسندگان
چکیده
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.

A methodological note on the definition of semantic annotation languages (short paper)
In the last few years, the international organization for standards ISO has started up various projects concerned with the definition of interoperable concepts for syntactic, morphosyntactic, and semantic annotation, with the ultimate aim to support the development of interoperable language resources. The Linguistic Annotation Framework (LAF, Ide & Romary, 2004) thereby serves as a meta-framewo...
متن کاملThe Annotation of Measure Expressions in ISO Standards
In annotating measure expressions such as three days and about 123 km, two recently published ISO standards, ISO-TimeML (ISO, 2012b) and ISOspace (ISO, 2014a), show some inconsistencies, as pointed out in ISO SemAF Principles (ISO, 2014c), a third ISO standards on semantic annotation to be published soon. Other than terminological or semantic inconsistencies introduced in ISO SemAF Principles, ...
متن کاملFrench TimeBank: An ISO-TimeML Annotated Reference Corpus
This article presents the main points in the creation of the French TimeBank (Bittar, 2010), a reference corpus annotated according to the ISO-TimeML standard for temporal annotation. A number of improvements were made to the markup language to deal with linguistic phenomena not yet covered by ISO-TimeML, including cross-language modifications and others specific to French. An automatic preanno...
متن کاملA methodology for designing semantic annotations
This paper presents a methodology for designing languages for semantic annotation. Central in this methodology is the specification of representation formats as renderings of conceptual structures defined by an abstract syntax as set-theoretic constructs. An ideal representation format is defined as one that is able to represent all the conceptual distinctions made in the abstract syntax, and o...
متن کاملDesigningAnnotation Schemes:From Theory toModel
In this chapter, we describe themethod and process of transforming the theoretical formulations of a linguistic phenomenon, based on empirical observations, into a model that can be used for the development of a language annotation specification. Weoutline this procedure generally, and then examine the steps in detail by specific example. We look at how this methodology has been implemented in ...
