Descripción
Linguistic annotation applied to the recognition and normalization of temporal expressions in text information has been researched in recent years with the end of promoting the reasoning applied to texts in computer systems. Some research work has suggested ways of normalization of temporal expressions starting from linguistic annotation especially in English. The application of temporal reasoning on databases is a long pursued objective in the setting of GIS. This paper deals with how to incorporate the temporal aspect of natural language into a GIS.The originality of the research presented is the corpus type (business letters of the Castilian merchant Simón Ruiz), the language used (16th century Castilian) and the annotation containing not only temporal expressions but also events and their mutual relationships. Another contribution is the utilization and review of the temporal annotation system (TimeML) for the Spanish language in view of its greatdocumentary richness in that century.The selected corpus is tied to the subject matter of the DynCoopNet project1 ¿study of the trade cooperation dynamic relationships in the 16th-18th centuries. The research basis of this project is the normalization of temporalexpressions for their implementation in a spatio-temporal GIS, thus facilitating the tasks of analysis to historians.TimeML, through semantic annotation, provides definition of temporal expressions and events, as well as their relationships. It also enables structuring of data as a database. The next step has been the TimeML implementation on a database that could be incorporated into a GIS, so as to be able to represent and query the temporal information.
