Abstract

We propose a framework for discovering narrative relationships between objects on the WWW based on perspective information access. Today people can access Web resources easily. However, it is difficult to reach information that satisfies users' requests. Search engines are the most popular tools to find information, if a user can specify appropriate keywords to express the concrete contents of the required information. However, our target users are persons looking for new information concerned with other information, even when the relationship among them is not yet known. To support such users, we propose a perspective information access framework that shows paths to reach the required information. Such perspective path corresponds to narrativity between the source and the destination information.
