Representing narrative in Multimedia Information Systems

Humans understand media at a high-level of content, that is, we understand media and the message or story it tells us. For instance a surveillance video of a man committing a crime would instantly be differentiated from a video of say a cat chasing a mouse, through its context and meaning to us as human beings. Some types of video data, e.g. films, are made to entertain whereas others are made to educate, e.g. documentaries.Video data, in effect, is used for narration. Topic reviews various MISs (Multimedia Information Systems) that process, store and represent data at different levels. It also reviews systems that compute narrative, including some that were based on narrative theory. This paper argues that MISs can benefit from narrative theory and identifies the issues faced by current systems that compute narrative. Therefore, it is about software of multimedia museum of state history which was completed in the work of establishing museum of both real exhibits and virtual environment and opportunity of using it in e-learning.
