2. New social technologies
(for sharing, for collaborating, for discovering)
+
New reading interfaces
(computer, smartphone, tablet, augm. paper)
=
Social reading technologies
4. -1-
Social reading practices
are not new.
Reading and writing are not solitary activities.
There are many existing social reading practices.
There will be more.
5. -2-
Social reading technologies
can be used with both paper and
digital reading interfaces.
Paper in not dead. Digital reading interfaces are nice. This
debate is a wrong one. We can have the best of both worlds.
6. -3-
Social reading technologies
may o"er an alternative to
machine-learning based
analytics
Data mining technologies will certainly create interesting
representations of our reading practices, but social reading
technologies practices may o"er more relevant services.
56. “bookmark”
- pointer : a position marker
(like a dog-ear)
- highlight : a position marker +
snippet of text for the book
- note : a position marker +
additional content added by the
reader
57. “book”
How can we identify a book ?
- Book title + Book author
- Book edition ISBN
- Universal Work Number :
OpenLibrary or LibraryThing ID
- Image ? Bookcover,
Bookpage ?
58. “position”
- page + line + character (dep. of
an edition)
- % of text
- A long-enough text string (long
to search)
A combination of these ?
61. Bookmark exchange format
(e.g. by J.Bridle)

64. Reading Analytics
- what you read and have read (sequences of
documents)
- when and where you read (timestamp,
geolocalization)
- how you read (time, eye-tracking)
81. WRAP-UP
Social reading technologies
1. are based on existing practices
2. work with both printed and
digital documents
3. have potentially a higher
potential in terms of services than
machine learning approaches
