This paper describes a system for semi-automatic population of ontologies with instances from unstructured text. It is based on supervised learning, learns extraction rules from annotated text and then applies those rules on new articles for ontology population. Therefore, the system classifies stories and populates a hand-crafted ontology with new instances of classes defined in it. It is based on three components: Marmot - a natural language processor; Crystal - a dictionary induction tool; and Badger - an information extraction tool. A part of the entire cycle is a user who accepts, rejects or modifies newly extracted and suggested instances to be populated. A description of experiments performed with text corpus consisting of 91 articles is given in turn. The results cover the paper and support a presented hypothesis of assigning a rule confidence value to each extraction rule for improving the performance.

Narrative Hypermedia is...

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.
