Abstract

Research in the semantic web community has given rise to some powerful methods for visualizing events and related media—mostly in terms of interactive timelines—and for enabling users to interact with these visualizations. The present paper aims to advance this line of research in two ways: (a) by developing interactive visualizations of event hierarchies of essentially arbitrary depth and size, which are more natural than timelines in the case of complex events that comprise subevents at various levels; and (b) by supporting forms of interaction that go beyond the usual activities of browsing and searching for events and related media, supporting additionally the sharing and annotation of media and the provision of interactive illustrations of narrative texts.
