Abstract
In the last decade, the interest in developing a market of e-books has greatly increased, being preferred by many readers for their condensed volume, easy acquisition, some facilities that big providers started to introduce, such as the possibility to make personal notes, to search words in dictionaries and inside the book itself. However, this new format can have tremendously many more facets than proved by the printed book and has an extraordinary power to resonate differently with its particular readers. In this paper, we describe a technology that combines natural language processing with entity linking, web cartography, web mapping and augmented reality in order to bring to the reader of books new levels of knowledge, connection and leisure. The MappedBook is an electronic artifact that complements the textual content of a book with hyperlinks in a virtual space and augmented reality functionalities. Criteria to form social networks based on the MappingBooks technology are suggested. This study has a strong view on tourism business and educational systems.
