The relation between an ACE text and its paraphrase is that their DRSs
are structurally equivalent. See more in this paper:

Kaarel Kaljurand. Paraphrasing Controlled English Texts.
Pre-Proceedings of the Workshop on Controlled Natural Language (CNL
2009), CEUR Workshop Proceedings, 2009

I'm not sure now what to call this relation (syntactic or semantic)
on the ACE level.
