    abstract = "This paper describes a step in the development of a methodology for combining annotation made with different annotation schemes. The methodology, called `interlinking', assumes that different annotations of the same data will contain certain elements that refer to the same entities. This can be represented by a set of `identity links'. These links are used for constructing a single, integrated annotation structure at the level of abstract syntax with a semantic interpretation. In this paper we focus on the interlinking of annotations of time and events with ISO-TimeML (ISO 24617-1:2012) and quantification with QuantML (ISO 24617-12:2025).interlinking annotations is in practice only feasible if the respective annotation schemes use the same or convertible representation and interpretation formalisms. Since QuantML and ISO-TimeML use different formalisms and QuantML has a more fully developed semantics than ISO-TimeML, we developed a new, DRT{--}based semantics for ISO-TimeML which is presented and discussed in this paper."
