“…Another was the technology of social networking in its multitudinous implementations. As the world of reader interaction systems [ 6 ] progressed to still more advanced hypermedia systems, the link itself has become more sophisticated in concept and implementation. The common case of author-created and therefore static and explicit links can be extended to dynamic links by systems that suggest links to the author, or even automatically add them at the reader’s request.…”

WikiHyperGlossary (WHG): an information literacy technology for chemistry documents

BackgroundThe WikiHyperGlossary is an information literacy technology that was created to enhance reading comprehension of documents by connecting them to socially generated multimedia definitions as well as semantically relevant data. The WikiHyperGlossary enhances reading comprehension by using the lexicon of a discipline to generate dynamic links in a document to external resources that can provide implicit information the document did not explicitly provide. Currently, the most common method to acquire additional information when reading a document is to access a search engine and browse the web. This may lead to skimming of multiple documents with the novice actually never returning to the original document of interest. The WikiHyperGlossary automatically brings information to the user within the current document they are reading, enhancing the potential for deeper document understanding.ResultsThe WikiHyperGlossary allows users to submit a web URL or text to be processed against a chosen lexicon, returning the document with tagged terms. The selection of a tagged term results in the appearance of the WikiHyperGlossary Portlet containing a definition, and depending on the type of word, tabs to additional information and resources. Current types of content include multimedia enhanced definitions, ChemSpider query results, 3D molecular structures, and 2D editable structures connected to ChemSpider queries. Existing glossaries can be bulk uploaded, locked for editing and associated with multiple social generated definitions.ConclusionThe WikiHyperGlossary leverages both social and semantic web technologies to bring relevant information to a document. This can not only aid reading comprehension, but increases the users’ ability to obtain additional information within the document. We have demonstrated a molecular editor enabled knowledge framework that can result in a semantic web inductive reasoning process, and integration of the WikiHyperGlossary into other software technologies, like the Jikitou Biomedical Question and Answer system. Although this work was developed in the chemical sciences and took advantage of open science resources and initiatives, the technology is extensible to other knowledge domains. Through the DeepLit (Deeper Literacy: Connecting Documents to Data and Discourse) startup, we seek to extend WikiHyperGlossary technologies to other knowledge domains, and integrate them into other knowledge acquisition workflows.Electronic supplementary materialThe online version of this article (doi:10.1186/s13321-015-0073-7) contains supplementary material, which is available to authorized users.

“…The book metaphor has acted as the primary way of presenting e-leaming systems in a book like lay out [1]. Electronic browsing systems as SuperBook [2] and the Book Emulator [3], as well as recent commercial offerings of hand held devices of book size [4] are a few of the examples of the research into the e-book domain.…”

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.

We describe the design and algorithms of Porphyry 2001, a scholarly publication retrieval system. This system is intended to meet library user studies which advocate human interpretation and social interactions. The metaphors we used are annotations and publication (making public). We first discuss about different philosophical approaches to semantics and choose the more suited to scholarly work: the one considering a transitory, hypothetical and polemical knowledge construction. Then we propose an overview of Porphyry 2001: an hypertext system based on a dynamic structure of user annotations. The visualization and evolution of the structure (a dynamic directed acyclic graph) is made more efficient by the use of an ad hoc browsing algorithm.
