Serendipity-based storification: from lifelogging to storytelling.

Storification is a theoretical technique which aims to construct the underlying relationships from discrete information for packaging them into a logical structure. In this paper, we focus on proposing the definition of serendipity-based storification in the personal history which is the combination of two-step processes: i) discovering hidden stories in the personal history and i i) representing stories using visualization techniques for easily grasping the information. MyMovieHistory Hong & Jung (Cybern Syst 46 (1-2), 69-83 ??) is used as the case study to demonstrate the effect of storification through detecting and presenting patterns in real personal data. The results can be utilized in helping people easily memorize and comprehend their histories. Moreover, additional benefits (e.g., reminding the pass, predicting the future, and communicating who you are) can be gained through the use of storification in the personal history.
