SLinks in TimeBank

Introduction

On these pages you'll find subordinate links that were added to TimeBank by the annotators. Links are grouped on their governing event, which is displayed in the left frame. Only events that occurred more than once as a subordinating event are printed. The frequency is added after the events in parentheses.

The right frame contains either this intro or a list of SLinks for a selected subordinating event. Each SLink is printed with the subordinating event first, followed by the relation type and the subordinated event. Events are printed with their class, aspect and tense (if not equal to NONE). Each SLink is printed with its context, including a link to the tml file. The tml file is printed as is (no added bells and whistles that make it easy to find the TimeML-annotated sentence).
