چکیده
In the AVERs sense-making tool for crime analysis different types of information are represented in different ways. More precisely, narrative knowledge is represented in an explanatory direction and testimonial knowledge in an indicative direction. This paper shows that this distinction agrees with the preference of potential users and reduces the number of interpretation errors made by them.

متن کاملStory Schemes for Argumentation about the Facts of a Crime
In the literature on reasoning on the basis of evidence, two traditions exist: one argument-based, and one based on narratives.
