This paper presents a proposal for an open domain question answering coupled with ontological integrated space. It uses Latent Semantic Indexing (LSA) in conjunction with ontologies and First order Logic (FOL) to locate relevant documents to a query in a collection of documents. The main strength of the suggested approach relies in the use of contextual information, embedded in an integrated ontological space, to perform intelligent document retrieval.

Narrative Hypermedia
Narrative is concerned fundamentally with coherence, for instance, whether that be a fiction, an historical account or an argument, none of which 'make sense' unless they are put together in a coherent manner.

Hypermedia is the combination of hypertext for linking and structuring multimedia information.

Narrative Hypermedia is therefore concerned with how all of the above narrative forms, plus the many other diverse forms of discourse possible on the Web, can be effectively designed to communicate coherent conceptual structures, drawing inspiration from theories in narratology, semiotics, psycholinguistics and film.
