Overview
- No other (working) system fully devoted to the ‘intelligent’ representation and management of ‘narrative’ documents exists
- Relates the results of a concrete work that has lasted about ten years and has produced a fully implemented system (a complete environment) realized in Java 2: it is not yet another theoretical discussion about the best way of dealing with narratives
- Takes a multidisciplinary perspective
- Includes supplementary material: sn.pub/extras
Part of the book series: Advanced Information and Knowledge Processing (AI&KP)

About this book
A big amount of important, ‘economically relevant’ information, is buried within the huge mass of multimedia documents that correspond to some form of ‘narrative’ description.
Due to the ubiquity of these ‘narrative’ resources, being able to represent in a general, accurate, and effective way their semantic content – i.e., their key ‘meaning’ – is then both conceptually relevant and economically important. In this book, we present the main properties of NKRL (‘Narrative Knowledge Representation Language’), a language expressly designed for representing, in a standardised way, the ‘meaning’ of complex multimedia narrative documents. NKRL is a fully implemented language/environment. The software exists in two versions, an ORACLE-supported version and a file-oriented one.
Written from a multidisciplinary perspective, this exhaustive description of NKRL and of the associated knowledge representation principles will be an invaluable source of reference for practitioners, researchers, and graduates.
