TimeML

TimeML is a standardized way to represent and interpret information about time and events in text. It enables computers to understand when events happen, how they relate to each other, and their duration or timing. For example, it can mark phrases like "yesterday," "next week," or "after the meeting" to help analyze timelines and sequences in documents. This is valuable for tasks like summarizing news stories, extracting deadlines, or organizing historical information because it makes the time-related meaning in natural language clear and machine-readable.
