I've wanted to link to pages of books, or at least down to the chapter, or subhead.
Take, for example, the following blog post: http://deliberate-thinking.blogspot.com/2010/04/reality-quotient.html In that post, I refer to printed, copyrighted content by URL, but with lame google books URLs that have nothing to do with the structure of the book, and that border on the potentially problematic situation traditionally called "deep linking". Look for the following text in the blog post: - text: Demarco's "Total Useful Mental Discriminations (TUMD)" and link: http://books.google.com/books?id=563gvssRPvkC&lpg=PR1&dq=slack&pg=PA72#v=onepage - text: how capable you are and link: http://books.google.com/books?id=31Qe_e61Y10C&lpg=PP1&ots=bBbef5O2a3&dq=speed%20of%20trust&pg=PA185#v=onepage Is there any way that I could (for a given Work, or Edition), add a list of URLs that are just markers for the sections within a book. Not page linking, but sections as defined by the work itself. No content extraction except perhaps to put the subhead text in the URL itself (either in English, or in the Work/Edition's native language, or both). Now there would be a global permalink for a given chunk of a work. The closest think I found was OpenLibrary itself with canonical URLs to Works and Editions, so I thought if anyone knew, you all would. Does anything like that exist? If not, have you thought about allowing your users to define and curate sections for Works/Editions that could be treated as permalinks?
