  In many fact-finding investigations, notably parliamentary inquiries, process
chronologies are created to reconstruct how a controversial policy or decision
came into existence. Current approaches, like timelines, lack the
expressiveness to represent the variety of relations in which historic events
may link to the overall chronology. This obfuscates the nature of the
interdependence among the events, and the texts from which they are distilled.
Based on explorative interviews with expert analysts, we propose an extended,
rich set of relationships. We describe how these can be visualized as
TimeFlows. We provide an example of such a visualization by illustrating the
Childcare Benefits Scandal -- an affair that deeply affected Dutch politics in
recent years. This work extends the scope of existing process discovery
research into the direction of unveiling non-repetitive processes from
unstructured information objects.
