Abstract

Digital Storytelling can exploit numerous technologies and sources of information to support the creation, refinement and enhancement of a narrative. Research on text editing tools has created novel interactions that support authors in different stages of the creative process, such as the inclusion of crowd-generated content for writing. While these interactions have the potential to change workflows, integration of these in a way that is useful and matches users’ needs is unclear. In order to investigate the space of Assisted Storytelling, we designed and conducted a study to analyze how users write and edit a story about Cultural Heritage using an auxiliary source like Wikipedia. Through a diffractive analysis of stories, creative processes, and social and cultural contexts, we reflect and derive implications for design. These were applied to develop an AI-supported text editing tool using crowd-sourced content from Wikipedia and Wikidata.
