Abstract

This paper is a review of a story generation system called Minstrel. It uses complex but hand-crafted Lisp knowledge structures to generate short computer-generated stories within the King Arthur domain. The knowledge representation model of Minstrel is reimplemented using a W3C standard language to analyze the pros and cons of technology updates over this kind of classic AI projects.
