iNTELLiBOOK.net
- Brief description
- iNTELLiBOOK.net is the Internet Kiosk of Reading, in which can Read before you buy, browsing documents by content and deciding to Buy after you read.
- Vision, Objectives and Goals
From the epoch of the pen to that of the Linotype, we assist to the invention of new and more and more efficient machines to write (e.g. typewriters, word-processors).
Today, in the mass of available digital material, the problem is not to find informations, but to decide what are the bits to deserve our attention. We need a "machine to read".
- How does ICT contribute to the organisational objectives
Every document and intelligent message contains a secret map. An equally intelligent software can be used to decode this map and use it to tag, mark-up, summarise and generate hypertext links.
- Transferability
iNTELLiBOOK.net is such a project that could be done (theoretically) by an individual. Nevertheless, for a serious business, I plan to hire:
2008
Employee 1) Italian-English translator
2009
Employee 2) Web-designer
Employee 3) Marketing manager- Project summary
The iNTELLiBOOK.net Internet Kiosk works thanks to a magic algorithm, able to detect and extract the meaning from any text.
First o all, each text is converted into an hypertext, navigable by different reading-paths. Abstract is generated for each path. Summary is automatically compiled. The document is published and immediately becomes accessible.
No registration. No username & password. Only free browsing.
iNTELLiBOOK.net is a pure-html web site, which can be viewed using PCs, Palmtops or any system equipped with a standard browser.
