Abstract
In question-and-answer (QA) systems, various queries need to be processed. In particular, those queries such as temporal information require complex query generation processes. This paper proposes a temporal representation model that can support qualitative and quantitative temporal information on historical ontology by applying the concept of ordinals and sets and introduces operators that allow a QA system to easily handle complex temporal queries. To verify the effectiveness of the proposed model and operators, historical scenarios are presented to show that they can effectively handle complex temporal queries.
