Plots Of Narratives Over Temporal Databases

An operation-based notion of plots of narratives is introduced, to summarize events happening to objects in the temporal database of an information system. The method proposed for modelling and handling plots, involving the application of a Planrecognition and Plan-generation facility, is shown to be useful for various purposes, including problem-detection and decision support. An interdisciplinary approach is adopted, utilizing results from studies on literary theories.
