APPENDIX A. Example of Template Element Objects

These are examples of fills for the Template Element subtask that are extracted from a text in the MUC-5 corpus. The extracted information and the text itself appear below. The ARTIFACT object assumes a scenario-specific IE task that includes sports equipment such as golf clubs (and excludes such things as "golf club parts").

<ORGANIZATION-0592-1> :=
    ORG_NAME:		"BRIDGESTONE SPORTS CO."
    ORG_ALIAS:		"BRIDGESTONE SPORTS"
			"BRIDGESTON SPORTS"
    ORG_DESCRIPTOR:	"JAPANESE SPORTS GOODS MAKER"
    ORG_TYPE: 		COMPANY
    ORG_NATIONALITY: 	JAPAN

<ORGANIZATION-0592-2> :=

    ORG_COUNTRY:	TAIWAN

    ORG_NAME:		"TAGA CO."
    ORG_DESCRIPTOR:	"A JAPANESE TRADING HOUSE"
		    	/"A COMPANY ACTIVE IN TRADING WITH TAIWAN"

<ORGANIZATION-0592-4> :=
    ORG_NAME:		"BRIDGESTONE SPORTS TAIWAN CO."
    ORG_TYPE:		COMPANY
    ORG_DESCRIPTOR:	"A JOINT VENTURE"
    ORG_LOCALE:	KAOHSIUNG CITY
			/KAOHSIUNG PROVINCE
    ORG_COUNTRY:	TAIWAN
    COMMENT:		"'A JOINT VENTURE' is the most substantive descriptor"
			/"In the judgment of the analyst, the locale
'KAOHSIUNG' matches either 'Kao Hsiung' or 'Kao-hsiung' in the 'MUC-6
Reference Gazetteer.'  The former is listed as type PORT and the
latter is listed both as type CITY and type PROVINCE.  Since PORT is
collapsed with CITY as far as the IE task is concerned, that leaves
two alternative correct answers in the answer key."

<ARTIFACT-0592-1> :=
    ART_DESCRIPTOR:	"GOLF CLUBS"
			/"IRON AND 'METAL WOOD' CLUBS"
    COMMENT:		"ART_TYPE not specifiable without rest of
task"
			/"'UNITS' and 'LUXURY CLUBS' are not viable
alternatives to the fill for ART_DESCRIPTOR (they do not convey as much useful info)"
