“…The decisions on EusTimeML have been validated by means of a set of manual annotation efforts (Altuna et al 2014(Altuna et al , 2018a(Altuna et al , 2018bAltuna 2018), in which interannotator agreement has been measured. Manual annotation analysis has shown that EusTimeML annotation guidelines are unambiguous for most of the elements, but we must note that event classification has been a major source of disagreement as annotators have considered some event classes to be virtually indiscernible in some contexts.…”

We present EusTimeML, a mark-up language for temporal information in texts written in Basque. It is compliant with the TimeML specifications, while offering some adapted attributes and attribute values in order to represent the language-specific features of Basque. In particular, alterations have been carried out for verb tense, aspect and modality coding, as well as for time expression and signal annotation. EusTimeML also provides a major extension to the existing TimeML schemes, since the attributes and values for factuality annotation have been added to the existing temporal information annotation scheme. EusTimeML has been used to annotate the EusTimeBank Corpus, the news and history narratives corpus that has been used as the gold standard in temporal information processing in Basque.
