Description
The art of storytelling is multifaceted and nonlinear, involving multiple interconnected characters, themes, and symbols. While media forms such as novels can describe these complexities, it is often difficult to visualize a narrative in an easy-to-understand format. Our contribution is a graph-based web application that lets users organize and visualize those narratives. Characters, objects, and places are represented as nodes and their relationships are represented as edges. Neo4J will be used as a DBMS to store the graph and to run queries on it.
