FPWD: Portable Web Publications for the Open Web Platform

Portable Web Publications for the Open Web Platform

http://www.w3.org/TR/2015/WD-pwp-20151015/

Abstract

This document introduces Portable Web Publications, a vision for the future of digital publishing that is based on a fully native representation of documents within the Open Web Platform. Portable Web Publications achieve full convergence between online and offline/portable document publishing: publishers and users won't need to choose one or the other, but can switch between them dynamically, at will.
