BERLIN and Narratives

BERLIN stands for Behavioural Event Reconstruction Linguistic Interface for Narratives. I introduced BERLIN a few blogs ago - in my "final blog." Theoretically after one's final blog, no further blogs are forthcoming. However, I am now posting bonus blogs reflecting aspects of the same closing subject. Today, I will be elaborating on BERLIN's syntax and how its searches are facilitated. As a general rule, the objective of BERLIN is to convert human-friendly narrative into computer-friendly code. It isn't unusual for computer code to be expressed in a human-like language for the purpose of executing a program. A computer program has rigid parameters. BERLIN on the other hand is designed to support "expression." Rather than the code adapting to the needs of a computer program, it is adapted to the requirements of expression. BERLIN remains shaped by a type of program of sorts.
