Abstract
The main focus of the Dagstuhl seminar 05151 was on TimeML-based temporal annotation and reasoning. We were concerned with three main points: how effectively can one use the TimeML language for consistent annotation, determining how useful such annotation is for further processing, and determining what modifications should be applied to the standard to make it more useful for applications such as question-answering and information retrieval.
