Abstract
In this paper we present an innovative approach for semantic annotation of narrative media objects (video, text, audio, etc.) that integrates vast commonsense ontological knowledge to a novel ontology-based model of narrative, Drammar (focused on the dramatic concepts of ‘character’ and ‘action’), to permit the annotation of their narrative features.
We also describe the annotation workflow and propose a general architecture that guides the annotation process and permits annotation-based reasoning and search operations. We finally illustrate the proposed annotation model through real examples.
