In this paper we present the Sharing Ancient WisdomS (SAWS) project. Working with wisdom texts, or gnomologia, the project aims to produce an enhanced digital scholarly edition of the collected manuscripts which both makes the Greek, Arabic and Spanish texts available and demonstrates the hypertexual nature of these texts. By positioning the texts as collections of sayings, of which a given manuscript only shows one narrative path, we demonstrate how a hypertextual approach allows us to explore alternate narrative paths within and across the texts and support researchers as they study the context, significance and transmission of the wisdoms within these works.

In this paper we describe how creative writing techniques were used to develop a non-linear model of narrative structure for historical drama and how an ontology was developed to facilitate publishing it on the web as transmedia content.

This essay discusses whether the standard narratological duality of syuzhet and fabula applies to narrative hypertext, and concludes that the hypertext writing complicates the use of those dual concepts.

Native scholarly hypertext is a rare genre which issues from a particular cognitive experience that is difficult to translate in expository academic writing. The fragmentary form of some research note collections of eminent unconventional intellectuals from the pre-digital age exhibits the groundwork of hypertext. Giacomo Leopardi's Zibaldone is one such text comprised of ca. 10,000 internal and external references, and thematic indexes with ca. 11,000 referenced fragments. The TEI encoding of the manuscript and its hypertext rendition, undertaken by a group of scholars and technologists at Princeton University, provide insight into the genesis of dialectical thought, grapple with the inadequacy of current technology to represent its hypertextuality, and raise questions about hypertext's potentialities for being adopted by scholars today.

We first establish a connection between the concept of ergodicity in mathematics and "ergodic literature" of the Choose-your-own-Adventure (CYOA) type that serves to answer some existing objections regarding the use of the term in the latter context. We then consider some steps towards the construction of concept maps for CYOA-type ergodic literature. Our analysis is based on modeling ergodic literature using digraphs and matrices. Promising preliminary results are obtained using content to refine link-based ranking.

The media curation craze has spawned a multitude of new sites that help users to collect and share web content. Some market themselves as spaces to explore a common interest through different types of related media. Others are promoted as a means for creating and sharing stories, or producing personalized newspapers. Still others target the education market, claiming that curation can be a powerful learning tool for web-based content. But who really benefits from the curation task: the content curator or the content consumer? This paper will argue that for curation to fully support learning, on either side, then the curation site has to allow the content curator to research and tell stories through their selected content and for the consumer to rewrite the story for themselves. This brings the curation task inline with museum practice, where museum professionals tell stories through careful selection, organization and presentation of objects in an exhibition, backed up by research. This paper introduces the notion of 'recuration' to describe a process in which shared content can be used as part of learning.
