bib14 - interlinking books with the world
DESCRIPTION
Using semantic annotations in HTML5 (e.g., RDFa), fine and coarse grained semantic information can be stored inside an EPUB 3 publication. Books can then be published on the web as Linked Data. Every published book can hence become a linked database, and machines can query these books (and reason about their contained knowledge) for the users. This way, books become auto-discoverable and interlinked with the rest of the web. It enables the creation of web services that no longer need to index a book to get information out of it, but can query the Web of books.TRANSCRIPT

To take away
By enabling queries for the Semantic information in-side digital books, we can interlink the information inside books…
And get all this for free:
