Abstract
Abstract The goal of temporal annotation is to mark up all elements of a text that are relevant to the temporal interpretation of that text. As such, temporal annotation reveals part of the semantics of a text. We describe recent approaches to temporal annotation, focusing on the recently developed annotation language TimeML. In addition, we describe a couple of systems aimed at temporally parsing texts. We motivate the use of temporal annotation from a question answering viewpoint and describe some earlier insights from theoretical linguistics on what the temporal properties of language constructs are.
