This work presents a proposal for the development of a natural language processing module for event and temporal analysis of biographies as available in Wikipedia. At the current level of development, we restricted the extraction to temporally anchored events as they represent salient information which can be further used to extract additional events and facilitate their chronological ordering and the representation of a person's timeline. Visualising data about basic facts concerning groups of people helps with historical reasoning and enables comparisons among them.

Abstract
This work presents a proposal for the development of a natural language processing module for event and temporal analysis of biographies as available in Wikipedia. At the current level of development, we restricted the extraction to temporally anchored events as they represent salient information which can be further used to extract additional events and facilitate their chronological ordering and the representation of a person's timeline. Visualising data about basic facts concerning groups of people helps with historical reasoning and enables comparisons among them.File in questo prodotto:
