Abstract
Users of hypermedia systems are heterogeneous, came from different backgrounds and have different level of knowledge in the use of information systems. This paper discusses a multi-layered approach for developing personalized e-books. The layers regard both Human Computer Interaction/Navigation level and the Content of the e-book. These layers are defined and described in detail. The tei-Book architecture is also presented in the paper and it is proposed as suitable for providing personalized e-book views to the various e-book readers. This is done by an E-Book manager that manage to provide the appropriate e-book view according to the User Profiles and Book Profile Components that dynamically are developed by the tei-Book. Future work includes the evaluation of the personalized e-book views and also the evaluation of system’s usability.
