There are many ways to tell a story. We are working on telling them to our computers.
Our goal is to allow people to explore and analyse narratives, be they expressed within image, text, audio, video or any other medium or mix of media, through the annotation of those works with semantic descriptions.
Contextus.net at a Glance
This website is intended to collect together information on the work being done on the semantic description of narrative.
The OntoMedia ontology was developed to describe content within all different types of media. For flexibility and ease of use the model was modularised, the scope of each module along with it's related entities, properties and some examples are explained in the Model section. The ontology has been presented at a number of conference and these papers are listed on the publications page.
The data store offers the option to query our 4Store and the contained examples through a SPARQL endpoint.
