        abstract = {Research in the semantic web community has given rise to some powerful methods for visualizing events and related media—mostly in terms of interactive timelines—and for enabling users to interact with these visualizations. The present paper aims to advance this line of research in two ways: a by developing interactive visualizations of event hierarchies of essentially arbitrary depth and size, which are more natural than timelines in the case of complex events that comprise subevents at various levels; and b by supporting forms of interaction that go beyond the usual activities of browsing and searching for events and related media, supporting additionally the sharing and annotation of media and the provision of interactive illustrations of narrative texts.}

This paper presents three presumably typical use cases and associated interaction design proposals, which illustrate (a) how untrained users can benefit from the organization of media in terms of complex events; (b) how they can have their own media categorized in this way without having to invest much effort; and (c) how they can even create complex event instances with novel structures, without having to think explicitly about event structures.}
