Tagging Directions

For the most part we want to isolate the subject, action and object of each sentence along with a data and location of this event. For example, in the sentence “Albert Einstein published General Theory of Relativity on 3/20/1916” the subject is Einstein the action is published, and object is the Theory of relativity. Here are a few examples of what we tagged already. One can only imagine how many other ways we can find this information written in.

The gray boxes below give you suggesting on how to populate each input. Name, event and year are mandatory other parts are optional but encouraged.

Object and location might be optional depending on the event. Most human sentences usually describe several events or at least several objects or subjects. Feel free to add another tag to the same sentence. Not every sentence will have a meaningful event that is described in it.
