Web-STAR: A Visual Web-Based IDE for a Story Comprehension System
This provides a tool for researchers, developers, and educators working with story comprehension systems, but it is incremental as it builds on existing technology.
The authors tackled the need for an accessible platform for story understanding by developing Web-STAR, an online IDE and web service that integrates with the STAR reasoning engine and includes social features like a community repository and collaborative editing tools.
We present Web-STAR, an online platform for story understanding built on top of the STAR reasoning engine for STory comprehension through ARgumentation. The platform includes a web-based IDE, integration with the STAR system, and a web service infrastructure to support integration with other systems that rely on story understanding functionality to complete their tasks. The platform also delivers a number of "social" features, including a community repository for public story sharing with a built-in commenting system, and tools for collaborative story editing that can be used for team development projects and for educational purposes.
