Abstract

A virtual hyperbook is a virtual document made of a set of information fragments linked to a domain ontology and equipped with selection and assembly methods or rules. In this paper, we study the problem of accessing and reading in a digital library of virtual hyperbooks. In this case it is necessary to generate hyperdocuments that present information and knowledge originating from several hyperbooks. Moreover, these hyper-documents must fit with the reading objectives or specific point of views of readers. Our approach is based on the integration of domain ontologies and the re-use of interface specifications.
