Abstract

This paper shows a system for the recognition of temporal expressions in Spanish and the resolution of their temporal reference. The system is based on a temporal expression (TE) grammar and an inference engine for the identification and recognition of temporal expressions, and for the resolution respectively. The inference engine includes the necessary information to perform the date operation based on the recognized expressions. For further information treatment, the output is proposed by means of XML tags in order to add standard information of the absolute dates obtained.
