QuantML annotations have a compositional semantics, in the sense that the interpretation of an annotation structure is obtained by combining the interpretations of its entity structures and participation link structures, in a manner that is determined by its scope link structures. The specification of the QuantML semantics has the form of translating annotation structures to discourse representation structures (DRSs), as defined in DRT (Kamp & Reyle, 1983).
