Abstract

The XML-based markup language TimeML encodes temporal and event-time information for use in automatic text processing. The TimeML annotation of a text contains information about the temporal intervals that are mentioned in the text as well as the relationship of these temporal intervals to the times and events mentioned in the text. We provide here a formal denotational semantics for TimeML, addressing problems of operator scope that arise in the context of a "flat" representation language and providing a sketch of an intensional extension to the main extensional semantics.
