    abstract = "The ISO working group on semantic annotation aims to adopt the UMR formalism to represent dynamic information involving motions and their embedding grounds. The paper details how ISO{'}s XML-based temporal and spatial annotations, involving motions and spatio-temporally conditioned event-paths, will be converted to AMR or UMR forms. It also attempts to enrich the representation of dynamic information with the integrated spatio-temporal annotation scheme that accommodates first-order dynamic logic, as briefly noted. The main motivation of such an effort is to make spatio-temporal annotations and related dynamic information easily understandable by artificial agents like robots to act. Our approach bridges ISO{'}s richly specified standards with the task-oriented expressiveness of UMR and dynamic logic. This integration paves the way for seamless downstream use of spatio-temporal annotations in dialogue systems, simulation environments, and embodied agents."
