Re: ISO/IEC standardization of EPUB 3.0.1 and EPUB A11Y 1.0

Liisa,

The result of the recent New Work Item Proposal ballot for
EPUB DRM has not been announced yet.  If the result is
positive, a new project for creating a Technical Specification
will start.

In my understanding, W3C (including Publishing@W3C)
is reluctant to standardize further DRM specifications.

22424-1 and -2 are being balloted again.

22424-1 and -2 are based on Open archival information system
(OAIS) (See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_Archival_Information_System.)
OAIS is for long-term preservation (e.g.,  100 years).
Since I do not know OAIS well, 22424-1 and -2 are beyond
me.

Some recent SC34 and JWG7 documents can be found at:

If EPUB provides an infrastructure of digital documents,
it is not surprising to see many projects around EPUB
in many standardization organizations.

Regards,
Makoto
