Steps Towards Accessing Digital Libraries Using Narratives
نویسندگان
چکیده
One of the main problems of the current Digital Libraries (DLs) is the limitation of the informative services offered to the users. Indeed, DLs provide simple search functionalities which return a list of the information objects contained in them. No semantic relation among the returned objects is usually reported which can help the user in obtaining a more complete knowledge on the subject of the search. The introduction of the Semantic Web has the potential of improving the search functionalities of DLs. Many cultural institutions have represented their metadata into formal descriptions encoded by means of formal languages such as RDF and OWL. In this context, the aim of our research is to introduce the narrative as a new search functionality which does not only return a list of objects but presents a narrative, composed of events that are linked to the objects of the library and endowed with a set of semantic relations connecting these events into a meaningful semantic network. The paper presents the first theoretical achievements on a model for representing narratives.

Steps Towards a Formal Ontology of Narratives Based on Narratology
Narrative is emerging as a notion that may enable overcoming the limitations of the discovery functionality (only ranked lists of objects) offered by information systems to their users. We present preliminary results on modelling narratives by means of formal ontology, by introducing a conceptualization of narratives and a mathematical expression of it. Our conceptualization tries to capture fu...

متن کاملUsing Game Engines for Non 3d Gaming Applications
We present in this paper the use of game technologies during the development of 3 dimensional interfaces for accessing digital libraries. We compare these different tools through a practical point of view and propose to consider them in a more general context of 3D applications development.
متن کاملRetaining Metadata in Remixed Cultural Heritage Objects
Memory institutions have been working to incorporate features into their digital collections that empower users to take ownership of cultural narratives. The advent of technologies like annotation tools and crowdsourced tagging have allowed libraries, archives, and museums to promote user content as part of an institutional narrative, albeit a somewhat tertiary one (Salomon, 2013). Collecting i...
