Abstract
This paper presents a novel method for answering complex temporal ordering questions in the context of an event and query-based text summarization. This task is accomplished by precisely mapping the problem of “query-based summarization of temporal ordering questions” in the field of Natural Language Processing to “verifying a finite state model against a temporal formula” in the realm of Model Checking. This mapping requires specific definitions, structures, and procedures. The output of this new approach is promisingly a readable and informative summary satisfying the user’s needs.
