Preface


These proceedings contain the contributed papers for the Sixth International Workshop on
Narrative Extraction from Texts (Text2Story20231 ) held in conjunction with the ECIR 2023
conference in Dublin, Ireland, on the 2nd of April 2023. Thirty two papers were submitted for
peer-review to this workshop. Out of these, nineteen papers were accepted for this volume, nine
as regular papers, and ten in the category of Work in Progress, Demos and Dissemination. Each
submitted paper was reviewed by three members of an international programme committee. In
addition to the selected papers, the workshop features two invited speakers: Georgiana Ifrim
and Valentina Bartalesi. Georgiana Ifrim gave a talk entitled “Structured Summarisation of
News at Scale”. Valentina Bartalesi gave a talk entitled “Creating and Visualising Semantic Story
Maps”.
   We would like to thank ECIR for hosting us, our keynote speakers, the programme committee,
the paper authors, and the participants, who have made this workshop possible. Editors Ricardo
Campos and Alípio Jorge were financed by National Funds through the FCT - Fundação para
a Ciência e a Tecnologia, I.P. (Portuguese Foundation for Science and Technology) within the
