Generation of relevance maps and navigation in a digital book

ABSTRACT

This paper describes how to design a digital book for a new science called 'Knowledge Science'. We prepare several types of navigation facilities for browsing the book. Specially, we generate relevance maps by mining useful information from large volume of textual data and visualizing it. We evaluate the quality of the generated relevance maps through questionnaires to the authors. Also, we evaluate the usability of prepared navigation facilities through questionnaires to the users.
