- TimeBank1.2.zip - This is an updated version of the TimeBank corpus, as of November, 2004. This version includes some updates to the XML schema, including a new attribute and some minor syntactic changes. It also has been improved due to additional quality
control work, particularly with respect to the marking of tense and aspect and the marking of conditional constructions. These improvements have been carried out by Bob Knippen, James Pustejovsky and colleagues at Brandeis University.
