Generating discourses from networks using an inheritance-based grammar
A method for generating narrative discourse to prompt inferences
INT3 '10: Proceedings of the Intelligent Narrative Technologies III Workshop

Narratives that prompt inferences can be more interesting in that they provide the reader with the opportunity to reason about the narrative world, participating in its construction. These narratives can also be more concise and direct, as details can ...
Ontological approach for DSL development

This paper presents a project whose main objective is to explore the ontological based development of Domain Specific Languages (DSL), more precisely, of their underlying Grammar. After reviewing the basic concepts characterizing Ontologies and DSLs, we ...
