Abstract
This paper describes how a system currently developed can be used to connect readers of enhanced e-books both to each other, to web resources and to real world locations and events. A set of Natural Language Processing resources are used to annotate relevant e-books and a framework is developed using the original text and the annotated metadata to detect and display semantic connections within the text and from text to relevant web data. This system can be further enhanced to detect connections between users using common reading interests and habits, their location in relation to locations found in text, and their reading and real world localisation history. Users could also be able to share collected data (text and web references, video and audio recordings, other interested readers) improving an individual reader experience and helping to establish a community around a particular e-book or a real life location with literary significance.
