Description:

The jTLEX java library was intended to provide a means of taking in a timeml file which normally contains tags which represent times, events, instances, and links within a document and to use the library to be able to take the timeml documents and parse it so that the tags can be read to create a timeline from the timeml which can be easier to read and understand for the end user. It is intended that their would be a java library with the methods necessary in order to allow for the users to make use of the libraries for themselves as a means of inputting any timeml documents and get an easy to read and understand timeline out of the document.
