Dear Program Committee Member:

My name is Zheng Xu.
I want to participate the following
" eBooks & i18n: Richer Internationalization for eBooks Second W3C
Workshop on Electronic Books and the Open Web Platform 4 June 2013,
Tokyo, Japan" and share my idea of a new search engine for eBook.

Following is my submition of position paper. Please contact me if you
have any question.
============================================
My topic is to introduce a new search engine for eBook.This new search engine
(which will be deploy in May 2013) has two advantages.
One is it does not only collect information as metadata of eBook but also
use the information to create maps of eBook. With the maps (logical relationship)
of eBook, search engine can give user more information such discount, books
from same author or same publisher only by one search operation.
The second is to collect information about eBook and eBook itself, rank eBook
and create semantic data so that data does not be included in description given
by publisher can be used for search or some books has weak relationship with
keywords can be provided with lower rank.
An example for the second advantage is when I want to find some books talked
about "QUnit" and "JQuery", a possible search result is a book titled "jQuery
UI 1.7" because the two keywords are all included in the book. Howver, when we
check in this book, only following description about reviewer has the above
two keywords.
"His work focuses on the Java-platform, while clientside-scripting evolves around
jQuery. He started contributing to jQuery in mid-2006, and has since co-created
and maintained QUnit, jQuery's unit testing framework; released and maintained a
half-dozen of very popular jQuery plugins..."
Obviously this book is not an appropriate result for these keywords. The new
search engine proposed is hoped to resolve such problem well.
============================================

Sincerely
Zheng
