Storyscope"is"an"authoring"environment"which"the"user"can"employ"to"carry"out"research,"compile"

resources,"organise"resources"into"compound"objects"and"write"narratives."It"also"holds"(or"links"to)"

taxonomies"and"controlled"vocabularies"that"help"the"user"to"select"and"enter"data.""

narrative"building"process."

"

A!Content!Aggregator:!(CA)"A"Content"Aggregator"stores"metadata"and"media"related"to"museum"collections,"this"can"be"

searched"and"used"through"the"interface."Images"and"metadata"of"interest"can"be"copied"by"the"user,"

from"this"component"into"the"Drupal"content."This"can"be"used"to"enrich"and"enhance"narratives"

that"the"User"is"building."

"

A!Semantic!Enrichment!Component:!(SEC)"A"Semantic"Enrichment"Component"carries"out"Natural"Language"Processing"of"text"sent"to"it"by"the"

user,"harvested"from"open"sources,"or"stored"in"the"CA."Its"principle"use"is"to"analyse"the"text"for"
