Abstract :
In this paper we discuss the role that temporal information plays in natural language text, specifically in the context of enriching the semantics of Web texts and Web interactions. We present a language, TimeML, which attempts to capture the richness of temporal and event related information in language, while demonstrating how it can play an important part in the development of more robust semantic ontologies. Specifically, we propose to demonstrate how a TimeML markup of text is interpreted within the DAML-Time ontology and time framework of Hobbs (2002).
