The entities extracted may be temporal expressions (timexes), eventualities (events), or auxiliary signals that support the interpretation of an entity or relation. Relations may be temporal links (tlinks), describing the order of events and times, or subordinate links (slinks) describing modality and other subordinative activity, or aspectual links (alinks) around the various influences aspectuality has on event structure.\r\n\r\nThe markup scheme used for temporal information extraction is well-described in the ISO-TimeML standard, and also on [www.timeml.org](http://www.timeml.org).\r\n\r\n```\r\n<?xml version=\"1.0\" ?>\r\n\r\n<TimeML xmlns:xsi=\"http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance\" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation=\"http://timeml.org/timeMLdocs/TimeML_1.2.1.xsd\">\r\n<TEXT>\r\n\r\n\r\n PRI20001020.2000.0127 \r\n NEWS STORY \r\n <TIMEX3 tid=\"t0\" type=\"TIME\" value=\"2000-10-20T20:02:07.85\">10/20/2000 20:02:07.85</TIMEX3> \r\n\r\n\r\n The Navy has changed its account of the attack on the USS Cole in Yemen.\r\n Officials <TIMEX3 tid=\"t1\" type=\"DATE\" value=\"PRESENT_REF\" temporalFunction=\"true\" anchorTimeID=\"t0\">now</TIMEX3> say the ship was hit <TIMEX3 tid=\"t2\" type=\"DURATION\" value=\"PT2H\">nearly two hours </TIMEX3>after it had docked.\r\n Initially the Navy said the explosion occurred while several boats were helping\r\n the ship to tie up.
