چکیده

An experiment is described in which reporters captured realworld news stories as semantically structured representations of journalistic events and narratives, and preliminary results from the experiment are discussed. The experiment was conducted using the Structured Stories prototype platform, which provides a library of abstractions of journalistic events grounded in frame semantics. Realworld journalistic events are then instantiated from those abstractions by filling semantic roles with identifiers to various Linked Open Data. Various media elements are attached to each instantiated event to facilitate presentation within a structured discourse. The resulting structured events are then assembled into larger narrative structures with recursive, fractal and network characteristics that seek to correspond with the cognitive experience of narrative in humans. The goal of the experiment was to evaluate the editorial feasibility of using this approach to capture and represent real-world news stories within a realistic journalistic workflow.

Ethics Reporting in Biospecimen and Genetic Research: Current Practice and Suggestions for Changes

Modern approaches for research with human biospecimens employ a variety of substantially different types of ethics approval and informed consent.
