About the Event Timeline
When associations are displayed on a timeline they are the same as those within the documents, except that scoring is different:
Entity significance is not included.
The association significance ("assoc_sig") is simply the Pythagorean significance of all documents in which the association is included.
Where times are not included intrinsically in the association, they are filled in to span the time range of the documents including them.
The Event Timeline widget can display the following types of associations: Events, Facts, and Summaries.
"Events" and "Summaries" with the same time range (ie "time_start", "time_end" pair) are aggregated with the "doccount" used to store the sum.
