Abstract
In this paper, a method to event ordering based on temporal expression resolution is presented. This method runs through three different steps: temporal expression recognition, temporal expression co-reference resolution, and event ordering. The system is applied to documental databases in order to extract the chronological information related to the events. The main goal is the automatic addition of metadata to the documental database that could be used in Question-Answering systems helping in the resolution of “when” questions.
