W3C Workshop Report on the Electronic Books and the Open Web Platform
04 March 2013 | Archive
http://www.w3.org/News/2013#entry-9743
[] W3C today published the report of the workshop eBooks: Great
Expectations for Web Standards, hosted by O'Reilly TOC on 11-12
February, 2013, in New York, USA, and sponsored by Pearson.

http://www.w3.org/2012/08/electronic-books/rapportebook
W3C seeks to support the wide adoption of Web technologies in
digital publishing contexts. Consequently, there is a need for
the Web and Publishing communities to reinforce cooperation
around well defined technical issues. This Workshop was a first
step, bringing together a wide range of stakeholders to share
their own perspectives, requirements, and ideas to ensure that
emerging global technology standards meet the needs of the
Digital Publishing industry. The Workshop has identified a
number of technical issues where the W3C could and should work
together in the coming years.
The Workshop participants began discussions to prioritize lists
of topics such as presentation, layout, fonts, or
accessibility. As a next step, the W3C staff will work with
stakeholders, such as IDPF and BISG, in the digital publishing
ecosystem to identify opportunities for work related to
publishing standards that can be launched at W3C.
