Wendy G. Lehnert did a lot of work with Natural Language analysis. She came from the Yale School under Roger Schank.I believe one of her research topics was Story Points. As well others in the Schank school did work on Themes and MOPs.I think these high level structures, or ones like them are important for a good natural language understanding system. Good luck.

That's also built into my system. The Link class is a subclass of the Node class. Nothing particularly difficult or unpleasant there. A story can define a distinction between kinds in my system, but it would do so implicitly, through context, rather than explicitly through a formalized mechanism. While neither the links-as-nodes nor the story-as-concept is specifically used or accounted for in my design, it is easily extensible in both of these directions. What I'm looking for is a particular use case, a reason for paying special attention to this sort of functionality, as opposed to merely including the capability should it later be found to need that special attention. -- Sent from my Palm Pre On Oct 22, 2012 8:04 PM, Jim Bromer <[email protected]> wrote: A relatively concrete categorical definition of a concept might be a very short "story" denoting the distinction between two or more cases of a kind of thing. Although the distinction might be made briefer, that does not mean that it would be made better by such a device.
