Claim 13:
14. A natural language generation (NLG) method for interacting with a data set of structured data to generate natural language narrative content about the data set in response to natural language inputs, the method comprising:
a processor processing a natural language input;
the processor selecting a data structure that explicitly represents a communication goal indicated by the processed natural language input from among a plurality of data structures that explicitly represent a plurality of different communication goals, wherein the selected data structure is linked to a set of narrative analytics;
the processor parameterizing the linked set of narrative analytics by defining a plurality of values for parameters of the linked set of narrative analytics based on the processed natural language input;
the processor executing the parameterized set of narrative analytics with respect to the data set to determine content to be expressed in a natural language narrative that (i) is responsive to the processed natural language input and (ii) satisfies the communication goal indicated by the processed natural language input; and
the processor generating the natural language narrative about the data set based on the determined content.
