....concrete, formal models capable of being put to use in the creation of an interactive virtual environment. While a broad range of approaches to the analysis of narrative exists, our work makes use of a structure that divides a narrative into two fundamental parts the story and the discourse [1,2] and we construct distinct representations and tools to manage each. From a narratological perspective, a story consists of a complete conceptualization of the world in which the narrative is set. This includes all the characters, locations, conditions and actions or events that take place ....

....representation of the relationships among these categories as a goals outline, which is basically what SEPIA has done. 4.2.3 Narrative. Thus far we have had our least success in trying to deal with documents of the Narrative type [15] However, in his book Story and Discourse Seymour Chatman [3] has done for narrative something very similar to what Toulmin did in his analysis of argument: He has proposed a set of categories that can be used to classify the points that go into making a Narrative. These categories may be outlined as follows: I. Story (Content) A. Events 1. Actions 2. ....

....do not have to worry about constructing one time table for the telling of the story and another for the events themselves. What is missing, however, is any means of representing the relationships among those events. Also, there is more to the story than just the events. There are also what Chatman [4] calls the existents, a single term intended to capture the relevant features concerned with both character and setting. Thus, in some respects we may treat this particular narrative in a manner very much like our treatment of the cooking exercise, perhaps to the point of providing a variety of ....

....Narrative as Contextual Constraint Narrative and contextualization share many of the same attributes. They are both active processes, and they are may be viewed as being composed of several different elements. Narrative can be decomposed into the structural elements shown in figure 1. (Chatman, 1978 cited in Galyean, 1995) Figure 1. Elements of Narrative. Narrative is seen as being composed of a representation (Story) and the presentation of the story (Discourse) The discourse essentially becomes the rendering of the story onto some form of media. The Story, in turn, is divided into ....
