A justification/explanation for some plot description. Justification may provide a role for some domain description which may be e.g. a law of physics or theory of human behaviour.
Heritage objects can be placed into a collection. This could be a set of objects identified as interest by a curator or objects bookmarked on a physical or virtual museum visit This differs from the concept of collection in CIDOC CRM which refers only to a physical collection such as the NGI collection.
A plot entity may be a plot or a plot component. Plots a story, recounting events in a particular order (Rowe et al 2002) Contains plot descriptions that express relationships between events and/or story components
A component of a narrative. Is part of another narrative entity which may be a narrative or a component.
A structuring of narrative components of a narrative entity.
A range facet allows a minimum and maximum value for an expression to be specified.
A temporal range with a specified minimum and maximum value.
A plot associated with the story of a heritage object.
A domain description that could be used to justify a plot relationship between story components or events. This could be e.g. a law of physics or thery of human psychology.
Classifications of story events made in a plot description such as events that being classifed as a cause, effect or influence. In a story-event relation the type could be intervening event or pivotal event. Traditional narrative classifications of event could be conflict, sucessful resolution, unsucessful resolution, comedic.
A description of a relationship between events.
Classifications of story components made in a plot description such as story components affected or unaffected by some intervention.
This class comprises objects of natural of cultural heritage, for example, paintings, sculptures and architectural objects. A heritage object can be associated with one or more heritage object stories/narratives/plots. These may, for example, cover the history of the object its creation, ownership and maintenance. They could be related to what the object depicts or some other narrative/story/plot associated with the object that can be told.
Can be either a narrative or narrative component. Its component parts can have a defined structure.
The story associated with the narrative of a heritage object.
A curatorial narrative makes use of heritage objects to illustrate aspects of the narrative (Rowe et al 2002, Pearce 1990). A curatorial narrative can make use of heritage objects and also their associated heritage object narratives or some other narrative that can be told from the heritage object.
A description of a relationship between story events and components.
An organisation of a story entity. This has an expression (i.e. dimension) on which events can be organised such as time, location or any other property used used within an event. The selection is one or more values which can be used to filter the events of interest such as particular times or locations of interest.
A narrative assoicated with a heritage object. The narrative could be about something depicted by the heritage object, about the heritage object itself (its creation, maintenance)
A situation that matches a StoryEventRelationDescription. Specifies the situation in terms of the events, story components and any domain description used to support a justification.
A description of a relationship between story components.
The narrative is the telling of the plot and its associated story. The narrative may have particular (hypertext) rhetorical structure, e.g. linear, hierarchical, cyclic. It might be designed for presentation on a particular device.
A situation that matches an EventRelationDescription. Specifies the situation in terms of the events and any domain description used to support a justification.
A plot charts a particular path across the story (Hazel 2008). The plot states a network of relationships in the story that are seen as significant by the person constructing the plot (Roberts 2001). The plot can link events together in different ways for example, linking an event about a thought to an event in the world (a thought led to the action, or a happening in the world led to a thought) (Allen and Acheson 2000). In fictional narrative, the predominant plot relationship between events is “caused”, however here we might expect also a more nuanced set of relationships such as “influenced”. We define the plot level as also describing relationships between components of the story, for example contrasting different times and/or locations. The plot level can also describe relationships between story components and events, for example identifying an event that marks the transition between two parts of the story space. A plot has a premise (point or moral) that binds together the elements of the plot into a whole (Rowe et al 2002).
A situation that matches a plot description.
A work that communicates meaning through some mechanism such as the use of spoken or written words, or symbols.
A situation that matches an StoryRelationDescription. Specifies the situation in terms of the story components and any domain description used to support a justification.
A story entity may be a either a story or a story component. It contains events. It has facets that can be used to organise the set of events.
A component of a plot. Is part of a plot entity which may be a plot or itself a plot component.
A description of some relationship between events and/or story components. A plot description is satisfied by a plot situation that specifies the events and/or story components described. Defines a justification for the plot description.
A link structure from one narrative component to another.
The structural form of the rhetoric such as linear or cyclical.
