And note the form in which the DOI is expressed. . . . ;-) -----Original Message----- From: Ivan Herman [mailto:ivan@w3.org] Sent: Tuesday, September 23, 2014 7:20 AM To: W3C Public Digital Publishing IG Mailing List Subject: As an aside, a possibly interesting read.... This is just an FYI: may be an interesting to read. Nothing Earth-shattering and, no surprise, the biggest problems for the digital preservation is the unique identification of books and DRM. But it is a good reference to have... (the first issue is clearly related to metadata, too). Title: Preserving eBooks Authors: Amy Kirchhoff (Portico) and Sheila Morrissey (Ithaka) DPC Technology Watch Report 14-01 June 2014 Full Text: http://dx.doi.org/10.7207/twr14-01 36 pages; PDF. Source: Digital Preservation Coalition Abstract: This report discusses current developments and issues with which public, national, and higher education libraries, publishers, aggregators, and preservation institutions must contend to ensure long-term access to eBook content. These issues include legal questions about the use, reuse, sharing and preservation of eBook objects; format issues, including the sometimes tight coupling of eBook content with particular hardware platforms; the embedding of digital rights management artefacts in eBook files to restrict access to them; and the diverse business ecosystem of eBook publication, with its associated complexities of communities of use and, ultimately, expectations for preservation. ---- Ivan Herman, W3C Digital Publishing Activity Lead Home: http://www.w3.org/People/Ivan/ mobile: +31-641044153 GPG: 0x343F1A3D WebID: http://www.ivan-herman.net/foaf#me
