Abstract

We describe here the last developments about NKRL (Narrative Knowledge Representation Language), a conceptual modeling formalism used to deal with ‘narrative’ multimedia documents. Narrative documents of an industrial and economic interest correspond, e.g., to news stories, corporate documents, normative and legal texts, intelligence messages and medical records. A new Java version of NKRL, RDF- and XML-compliant, has been recently built-up in the framework of the CONCERTO Esprit project.
