  Our aim is to extract information about literary characters in unstructured
texts. We employ natural language processing and reasoning on domain
ontologies. The first task is to identify the main characters and the parts of
the story where these characters are described or act. We illustrate the system
in a scenario in the folktale domain. The system relies on a folktale ontology
that we have developed based on Propp's model for folktales morphology.
