Abstract
Narrative has always played an important role in knowledge transfer between human beings. The Advanced Stories Authoring and Presentation System (ASAPS) was developed as the practical side to a research effort Interactive Digital Narrative (IDN) that combines theory and practice in a tightly coupled relationship. The first implementation of ASAPS foregrounds a robust and flexible architecture based on an extensible markup language. The early ASAPS narratives described here are an indication for the potential of this approach, which will incorporate additional technologies in the future.
