Automatically Generating an e-Textbook on the Web

Nowadays, people tend to learn from the Web because it is convenient, and rich of free information. The main means of learning on the Web is by submitting a query to a search engine, and subsequently browsing through the returned results to find relevant information.

In this paper, we present a novel approach to automatically generate an E-textbook for a user specified topic hierarchy. Such a technology can ease the learning process to a great extent.
