ISRST: An Interest Based Storytelling Model Using Rhetorical Relations

“…Since the story template constrains which and how events are presented, these events must be annotated to determine their role in the context of the whole template. Script based applications [1,23,27] are a particular case in which stories are described using a high level language. The application, then, present the events in the way specified by such scripts.…”

“…Even though some models do not deal with interactivity at all [1,23,11,19], most models deal with several kinds of intrusive interaction that goes from parameter specification [5,10], and menu selection and interruptions [29,27,13,7] to full user action multimedia processing [21,28,6,18,15].…”

“…The notion of story event is defined in several ways, each one to suit a particular way to deliver the intended message to the audience. Events can be represented as plain text [8,25,27], scripted individual character actions [9], story world states [15,16,29], or multimedia content [5,22]. Most storytelling models take these events and construct stories by creating sequences that depend highly on the inherent temporal property of such events.…”

Isrst: Generating Interesting Multimedia Stories on the Web

“…In presentation environments, the concept of unity in events is slightly different (e.g., an event must present only one topic and be constrained to a particular context), but it refers to the same characteristics nonetheless. In the majority of storytelling applications, events are represented as plain text (Figa and Tarau 2003;Silva, Guilherme, and Paiva 2003;Sumi and Tanaka 2005), scripted individual character actions (Gebhard, Kipp, Klesen, and Rist 2003), story world states Laird 2003, 2004;Szilas 2003), or multimedia content Rober, Huber, Hartmann, Feustel, and Masuch 2006). In ISRST, we support multimedia content in the form of images, audio, and video distributed over the web.…”

Storytelling Ontology Model Using RST

“…In some cases, some narrative or dramatic effects are applied during the event transitions. The research works of Rocchi and Zancanaro [21] [26], are considered in this category.…”
