The goal of the here described research is to explore the possibilities of combining Semantic Web technologies and fundamental Web principles, including URIs and HTTP, and to apply these on open services on the Web, in order to contribute to a Semantic Web, which is not only an extension of the current Web with more semantic descriptions of data but is rather more dynamic and seamlessly integrates services as sources of that data, which can be automatically discovered, composed and executed by the computer on behalf of its user. This document is the first year probation report of this PhD study on open services on the Web.

Narrative Hypermedia is...


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.
