Abstract

This project aims to help people explore, understand, and rediscover the many-to-many relationships of content within library archives using multi-modal storytelling. This project builds upon an existing multi-modal storytelling system which is designed to help people explore large knowledge graphs by actively constructing narratives using information from the knowledge graphs. We present this system and a case study of how the process of creating the knowledge graph from existing archives becomes an iterative hypothesis testing process and triggers new knowledge discovery.
