ParCos Storyteller

Claes, S., Van Den Bosch C., Peeters N. ParCos Storyteller, Deliverable 3.3 of the Horizon 2020 project ParCos, EC grant agreement no 872500, Lappeenranta, Finland. Like all stories, science stories follow a narrative structure. In this deliverable, we will map different narrative structures and complement them with science and data story examples. We will detail the role of data in these stories, and how data may support the narrative structure. Then, we present 17 design explorations of data stories that concern 1) weather data sets as a familiar type of data for recipients, or 2) sonicated astronomy data as a data set that is not only able to be represented to recipient through visual aspects but also appeal to other senses. Through these explorations and the state of the art examples, we derived a set of participatory data storytelling techniques. These techniques are opened up for both media professionals and academics through the ParCos Storyteller.
