    <Paragraph position="0"> that multiple interrelations may be represented by one arrow ; for example, the TIE-UP-RELATIONSHIP object has two possible interrelationships with ENTITY objects, i.e., either identification of the parents in a tie up, or identification of the joint venture child company itself. The relative complexity of the template design mirrors the intricacie s inherent in the tie-up event itself.</Paragraph>
    <Paragraph position="1"> Appendix A gives a straightforward example from the English Joint Venture domain, including an excerpt fro m an EJV article, along with its corresponding filled-out template . There is one tie up in this article, triggered by the announcement that &amp;quot;Bridgestone Sports Co . ... has set up a joint venture in Taiwan .&amp;quot; This tie up involves three parent or partner companies (&amp;quot;Bridgestone Sports Co.,&amp;quot; &amp;quot;Union Precision Casting Co.,&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;Taga Co .&amp;quot;) and a child company (&amp;quot;Bridgestone Sports Taiwan Co.&amp;quot;) that will be engaged in the production of golf clubs . Although there is only one TIE-UP in this article, multiple tie ups are common in the English and Japanese corpora . In the diagram in Appendix A, note the different labels on the arcs ; e.g., the TIE-UP-RELATIONSHIP has two types of arcs pointing to ENTITYs, reflecting the two types of interrelationships discussed above, namely, &amp;quot;parent company&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;join t venture child company .&amp;quot; In Appendix C, an example is given from the Japanese Joint Venture domain . The excerpted article references a  new activity about to get underway in the financial arena, namely, issuing of a new credit card . This new product i s the result of a recent tie up between &amp;quot;Daimaru&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;six companies of the VISA Card Group, including &amp;quot;Sumitomo Credit Service.&amp;quot; In accordance with the JJV fill rules (see &amp;quot;Corpora and Data Preparation&amp;quot; in this volume), the tie up is instantiated between Daimaru and Sumitomo Credit Service, which is regarded as the group leader for the VIS A Card Group, because it is the only group member explicitly mentioned in the text. The template indicates a single ACTIVITY, with an INDUSTRY type FINANCE, and product/service string&amp;quot;issuing the Daimaru Excel VISA card .&amp;quot;</Paragraph>
