One important outcome of this research is the concept of <jats:italic>narrative intelligence<\/jats:italic>, the human tendency to fit experience into narrative form. This research is extremely relevant to information seeking in general and sense\u2010making<jats:fn><jats:p>Throughout the paper we are referring to the general process of sense\u2010making (i.e. how people make sense of and construct meaning in their worlds) and not to the Sense\u2010Making methodology of Dervin ().<\/jats:p><\/jats:fn>\n in particular. This paper outlines the basic principles and research supporting the concept of narrative intelligence and its applicability to the ways in which people make sense of digital video. We explore relevant theory and research in sense\u2010making, surrogates, narrative, and narrative intelligence and then present the preliminary results of two research studies. The first clarifies and operationalizes the concept of narrative as it relates to video. The second demonstrates how narrativity can have significant effects on information seeking and sense\u2010making in digital video. Results from these studies have implications for how syntactic form can be used as a means of indexing digital video.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1002\/meet.1450400140","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2005,1,31]],"date-time":"2005-01-31T11:21:44Z","timestamp":1107170504000},"page":"323-329","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":17,"title":["The role of narrative in understanding digital video: An exploratory analysis"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"40","author":[{"given":"Todd","family":"Wilkens","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Anthony","family":"Hughes","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Barbara M.","family":"Wildemuth","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Gary","family":"Marchionini","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2005,1,31]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_9_2_1","unstructured":"Aufderheide P.(1992).A report of the National Leadership Conference on Media Literacy.
