Integrating semantics and narrative world generation

Implementation of a narrative world is often laborious and remains fairly independent from working directly with the narrative itself. Currently, there are few tools able to simplify this process. The aim of our research is to support this process by developing a declarative approach for generating narrative worlds. A set of narrative semantics will be used to discover and further generate appropriate content. The declarative approach and semantics will be initially implemented and validated in a virtual therapy tool for patients with post-traumatic stress disorder. The project will evolve towards the creation of a more general narrative creation tool.
