Semantic ontology of commonsense concepts have been used to provide the necessary knowledge needed by computer systems to perform various tasks, such as in automatic story generation, interactive scavenger hunt games, virtual museum and storytelling. This paper presents our work in the development of a semantic ontology to support the generation of narrative text in the Alex interactive storytelling system. The text generated involves simple textual description of the objects found in the virtual world and the current options that are presented to the user to move the story forward.
