We present here some basic ideas and functions of a system developed for cultural, scientific and technical mediations of a good quality but still affordable adapted storytelling. The adaptation concerns mainly the topic variety and the knowledge deepness. In the first part we discuss the origins of the storytelling approach, its interest in mediation tasks; we also handle the problem of transformation of some narrative functions into operational categories of analysis by means of adequate metadata. In the second part, we give some elements of the knowledge organization underlying such a system and precise the notions of learning profile and of point of view, for a case study concerning a video-based presentation of a Renaissance painting; in our case, we distinguish three profiles and nine points of view. We then give some examples illustrating the capacity of the system to build abundant adapted stories about the chosen painting; we also argue in favour of the local-ontology construction, which supports the whole system, both at the back- and the front-office levels. We finally conclude with some educational enhancements we currently develop (storytelling generalization containing complementary mediation modes, as Problem Resolution and Serious Games, integration of stereoscopic 3D videos, intelligent track of an end-user during her/his reading process as well as customized contextual assistance to her/him reading goal).
