<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:11.0pt;
font-family:Arial'>after working on the TIMEX2 annotation for Italian texts, we
are now starting to study TimeML guidelines in order to adapt them to Italian.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:11.0pt;
font-family:Arial'>Unfortunately, the most recent documentation on TimeML
annotation we have found is dated 2005.<b><i><span style='font-weight:bold;
font-style:italic'> </span></i></b> Does anyone know if there is any
updated material? Also, have there<b><i><span style='font-weight:bold;
font-style:italic'> </span></i></b>been any initiatives similar to ours for
other languages?<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:11.0pt;
font-family:Arial'>For what concerns the manual annotation, we are aware of the
combined use of Callisto (for the annotation of Events, Timex3 and Signals) and
Tango (for the annotation of Alink, Tlink and Slink) but it seems to be a very
time-expensive process. Does anyone know about any available software that
permits the complete annotation?<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
