Most intelligence analysis tasks require the analyst to have a mastery of a sequence of events. Tools supporting intelligence analysis must aid the analyst in untangling a variety of time related problems, including overlapping durations for events, and imprecise, incomplete, or conflicting information. Tools require both strong date and time identification/extraction and a flexible presentation of information on a time scale. We propose a method of presenting events, linked to a timeline, which addresses the problems of overlapping events, vague date/time references, and the need for the analyst to move easily between different time scales.
