Slots for Temporal Relations

Temporal relations must have the following slots: TYPE, ARG_1, and ARG_2, where fillers for ARG_1 and ARG_2 are times (%time_n), and TYPE indicates the relation between the two times. For example, "the event whose time is %time_2 occurred after the event whose time is %time_2" would be represented as:

%temp-rel_1
    type    after
      arg-1   %time_2
      arg-2   %time_3

A temporal relation also may have a VALUE slot. If %time_2 occurred just after %time_1, the temporal relation would look like this:

%temp-rel_2
    type    after
      arg-1   %time_2
      arg-2   %time_1
      value   <0.2
