A web tool to create and visualise semantic story maps

This paper presents the Story Map Building and Visualizing Tool (SMBVT), a sofware that allows users to create and visualise semantic story maps using a user-friendly web interface. The tool uses Wikidata as external reference knowledge base and exploits Semantic Web technologies in the back-end system to represent stories modelled on the Narrative ontology, a CRM-based vocabulary for representing narratives. SMBVT is entirely open-source and accessible afer free registration.
