Ontological Engineering
This event took place on Monday 19 January 2004 at 13:00

Dr Aldo Gangemi

The development of precise, easily sharable domain ontologies and the analysis of existing ones are known time-consuming activities in ontological engineering. The talk will introduce some principles to design "core" ontologies that catch the basic commitments in a domain of interest. These principles can be combined into "ontology design patterns" in order to build an ontology from scratch, and to analyse or to integrate existing ones. A design pattern is illustrated that builds upon DOLCE foundational ontology and some extensions that help representing contexts and situations. Applications in several domains (biomedical, legal, services, fishery, etc.) are sketched.

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.
