Towards Temporal Reasoning in Portuguese

This paper describes our ongoing work to create a temporally annotated open Portuguese corpus. We discuss how this task helped to improve and evaluate linked open lexical resources in Portuguese, namely OpenWordNet-PT and TempoWordNet. We use the Linguateca’s Bosque corpus, which we annotated with Universal Dependencies (UD2.0) and the system HeidelTime, the state of the art open source time tagging, to build Bosque-T, our proposed temporal corpus.
