With the increased popularity of electronic textbooks, there is a growing interests in developing a new generation of "intelligent textbooks", which have the ability to guide the readers according to their learning goals and current knowledge. The intelligent textbooks extend regular textbooks by integrating machine-manipulatable knowledge such as a knowledge map or a prerequisite-outcome relationship between sections, among which, the most popular integrated knowledge is a list of unique knowledge concepts associated with each section. With the help of this concept, multiple intelligent operations, such as content linking, content recommendation or student modeling, can be performed. However, annotating a reliable set of concepts to a textbook section is a challenge. Automatic unsupervised methods for extracting key-phrases as the concepts are known to have insufficient accuracy. Manual annotation by experts is considered as a preferred approach and can be used to produce both the target outcome and the labeled data for training supervised models. However, most researchers in education domain still consider the concept annotation process as an ad-hoc activity rather than an engineering task, resulting in low-quality annotated data. In this paper, we present a textbook knowledge engineering method to obtain reliable concept annotations. The outcomes of our work include a validated knowledge engineering procedure, a code-book for technical concept annotation, and a set of concept annotations for the target textbook, which could be used as gold standard in further research.
