 effort focused on coming up with useful structures for facilitating news navigation for humans, but benchmarks and objective evaluation of such structures is not common. One area that has progressed recently is news timeline summarisation. In this talk, we

 present some of our work on long-range large-scale news timeline summarisation. Timelines present the most important events of a topic linearly in chronological order and are commonly used by news editors to organise long-ranging topics for news consumers.

 Tools for automatic timeline summarisation can address the cost of manual effort and the infeasibility of manually covering many topics, over long time periods and massive news corpora. In this talk, we first compare different high-level approaches to timeline

 summarisation, identify the modules and features important for this task, and present new state-of-the-art results with a simple new method. We provide several examples of automatic timelines and present both a quantitative and qualitative analysis of these

 structured news summaries. Most of our tools and datasets are available online on

 are central to human activity in cultural, scientific, and social areas. Story maps are computer science realizations of narratives based on maps. They are online interactive maps enriched with text, pictures, videos, and other multimedia information, whose

 aim is to tell a story over a territory. This talk presents a semi-automatic workflow that, using a CRM-based ontology and the Semantic Web technologies, produces semantic narratives in the form of story maps (and timelines as an alternative representation)
