Abstract

In this paper, we suggest that it should be possible to come closer to the Semantic Web goals by enhancing the ontology paradigm and, in particular, by supplementing the traditional' ontologies of concepts with ontologies of events'. We present then some of the properties of NKRL (Narrative Knowledge Representation Language). This conceptual modeling formalism makes use of ontologies of events to denote the semantic characteristics of those narratives' that represent a very large percentage of the global Web information.
