The paper illustrates Narrative Space in the context of our completed work in a former industrial site that has been converted into a brickworks museum. Located near Berlin it is the largest of its kind in Europe. Narrative Space is used to describe the synthesis of singular or multiple stories with a spatial experience, made perceptible to an audience through a narrative structure. The illustr...

Rich News, a system that augments news broadcasts with textual content, is described. The system identifies individual stories in news broadcasts, and annotates them with related content from the World Wide Web. The web content is subsequently semantically analysed, and used to produce summary information for each news story. This content can then be delivered to users as part of an interactive...

The process of identifying techniques for fostering creativity, and applying these theoretical constructs in real-world educational activities, is, by nature, multifaceted and not straightforward, pertaining to several fields such as cognitive theory and psychology. Furthermore, the quantification of the impact of different activities on creativity is a challenging and not yet thoroughly invest...

A story has a beginning, a middle, and a cleanly wrapped-up ending. Whether told around a campfire, read from a book, or played on a DVD, a story goes from point A to B and then C. It follows a trajectory, a Freytag Pyramid—perhaps the line of a human life or the stages of the hero's journey. A story is told by one person or by a creative team to an audience that is usually quiet, even receptiv...

Introduction D eveloping compelling stories is perhaps the most important mission of the qualitative information systems researcher. Indeed, our discipline ‘has a powerful story to tell about the transformational impact of information technology’ (Agarwal and Lucas, 2005: 381), and I am sure that we all feel that we would like to contribute. A powerful story can inform and explain. A powerful s...

This work presents an evaluation of ToBoA-3D, a social web platform for the annotation of 3D models and the creation of stories. ToBoA-3D was evaluated through a pilot study realized in a real educational context, the 2014 edition of the Fall School in Digital Humanities, held at the Università Ca’ Foscari Venezia in collaboration with the École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL). The to...

Recent advance in digital storage technology has enabled us to archive more than 1,700 hours of video data from a daily Japanese news show in the last nine years. In this paper, to effectively make use of the video data in the archive, we first present a news video structuring method based on the chronological semantic relations between stories, namely the “topic thread structure”. Next, we int...

Segmentation of news videos into stories is among key issues for achieving efficient treatment of news-based digital libraries. Indeed, anchor shot detection is a fundamental step for segmenting news into stories. In this paper we present an improved algorithm for anchor shot detection. It is based on a graph theoretical clustering method and exploits the idea of the cluster lifetime for improv...

Reminiscence plays an important role in the lives of older adults [8]. Many perfect the art of storytelling and enjoy its social benefits. The telling of stories of past events and experiences defines family identities and is an integral part of most cultures. Losing the ability to recollect past memories is not only disadvantageous, but can prove quite detrimental, especially to many older adu...

Before the internet, the important news of the day was mainly decided by the print newspapers. This paper addresses whether this is still the case in the digital age by investigating the intermedia agenda-setting influence of print newspapers. We analyzed whether new stories covered on the front pages of newspapers were also covered in other news outlets, and if so who covered them first. This ...
