Abstract

Abstract. In this paper, we evoke first the ubiquity and the importance of the so-called ‘narrative ’ information, showing that the usual ontological tools, both the ‘traditional ’ and the ‘Semantic Web ’ ones, are unable to offer complete and reliable solutions for representing and exploiting this type of information. We supply then some details about NKRL (Narrative Knowledge Representation Language), a knowledge representation and inferencing environment especially created for an ‘intelligent ’ exploitation of narrative knowledge. 1
