TY - CHAP U1 - Konferenzveröffentlichung A1 - Heiden, Wolfgang A1 - Frühling, Christian A1 - Deuer, Harald T1 - Hypermedia Novel HYMN - A New Storytelling Paradigm T2 - netzspannung.org/journal N2 - In this paper we present a new storytelling approach, called Hypermedia Novel (HYMN), that extends the classical narration concept of a story. We develop an underlying modular concept – the narration module – that facilitates a new manner of reception as well as creation of a story. The HYMN focuses on the recipient and his role of consuming a story and a heterogeneous group of creative authors by providing narration modules and their interfaces without defining the granularity of the modules. Using several kinds ofmultimedia elements and a hyperlink structure, we present a first demonstrator that implements this new concept. We also discuss improvements, e.g. MPEG-4/7, that support both reception by the audience, and the process of creating the story by a dispersed team of authors.
