13 - Toward a Dynamic Annotation Scheme

Summary

This chapter works toward the specification of a dynamic annotation scheme, called dSpace. It extends the scope of ISO-Space to the domains of space and time over motions by being amalgamated with ISO-TimeML. In dSpace, various types of temporal relations interact with spatial relations. The temporal dimension characterizes various types of paths and motions anchored to each location on the paths; dSpace also generalizes the notion of paths by classifying them into four types: static, dynamic, projected, and oriented, while introducing a relational link, called pathLink, over paths with various relation types such as meet and deviate.
