Zusammenfassung

La información temporal ayuda a organizar la información textual situando las acciones y los estados en el tiempo. Por eso, es importante identificar los puntos e intervalos temporales en el texto, así como los tiempos a los que estos se refieren. Hemos desarrollado EusHeidelTime para la extracción y normalización de expresiones temporales para el euskera. Para ello, hemos analizado las expresiones temporales en euskera, hemos creado las reglas y recursos para la herramienta y hemos construido un corpus para el desarrollo y la evaluación. Finalmente, hemos realizado un experimento para evaluar el rendimiento de EusHeidelTime. Hemos conseguido resultados satisfactorios en una lengua con morfología rica.
