</SectionTitle>
    <Paragraph position="0"> The issues of mapping linguistic patterns to temporal relations are addressed in the paper. These mapping is preconditioned on the temporal indicators and achieved on a set of pre-dened rules. The mapping mechanism was validated. On 7429 sentences describing temporal relevance, we achieved 92.77% accuracy in average.</Paragraph>
    <Paragraph position="1"> These relations will be useful to for information extraction, information retrieval and question-answering application. Once the corresponding frames have been instantiated and their slots lled after temporal natural language processing. The related temporal concepts will be linked together according to their chronological orders, to be applied as the knowledge to fulll users' queries.</Paragraph>
    <Paragraph position="2"> We nd two interest questions as our future work.</Paragraph>
