The Challenge of Creating Geo-Location Markup for Digital Books

The story lines of many books occupy real world locations. We have previously explored the challenges of creating automatic location markup that might be used in location-based audio services for digital books. This paper explores the challenges of manually creating location annotations for digital books. We annotated three very different books, and report here on the insights gained and lessons learned. We draw conclusions for the design of software that might support this annotation process in situ and ex situ.
