| Abstract | Rapid development of smart devices has lead people to be able to read books through their devices anytime and anywhere. Even though its popularity, e-books have ingrained disadvantages such as: (1) It does not have an expandable scheme that allows readers to add multimedia contents or their emotional expressions to books. (2) It is not easy to add multimedia resources as an author. (3) Due to the variety of resolutions on devices, the current ebook format tends to be uncomfortable for readers. The user constantly has to zoom in by pinching the screen when reading on a small device. (4) It is not easy to navigate contents within an e-book because of the absence of an e-book linking feature. To tackle the above mentioned problems, we design and use an external domain-specific language (DSL) within our research. We propose a collaborative social tagging framework for e-books. The goals of this paper are (1) to define a model of an evolvable social resources taggable book (modeling of collaborative e-book), (2) to make readers read rich content e-book easily regardless of their type of devices as well as screen size. (Responsiveness), and (3) to provide e-book resources with the Representational State Transfer (RESTful) address style by which other systems can identify the self-descriptive resources of an e-books (interoperability). The experimental results show that e-book featured social tagging makes readers more interested in reading e-books rather than plain e-books. Further work includes user experience (UX) improvement, and a visual DSL approach with which the authors could write books easier. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
