Online Authoring System with Semi-automatic Annotation and Visual Knowledge Representation

Abstract

With the recent development of technology e-books are becoming more and more popular. Some of them already incorporate rich multimedia and hyperlinks, adding references to different resources. On the other hand, the Semantic Web initiative aims to develop technologies that allow explicit knowledge to be incorporated in the web content. The SmartBook project aims to develop a framework that will allow the e-books to be augmented, employing Semantics Web technologies [4]. The paper presents a work in progress, which aims to create a book authoring environment that will enable integration of knowledge and data in e-books
