IDPF Groups: Metadata & Identifiers WG
 

 
Metadata & Identifiers WG

The Metadata and Identifiers Working Group has a mission to create, endorse and/or adapt a framework for modular metadata and identifier standards that will enable the effective use of electronic books.  These standards should suit the following purposes for Metadata: Discovery, Identification, Organization, Administration, Selection, Location and Preservation.

Also, to investigate existing and developing identifier schemes in relation to ePublications and, if appropriate, to propose an identifier scheme to be used for ePublications generally, and by IDPF particularly, as well as provide a forum for all identifier-related issues within the IDPF.

The Metadata & Identifiers WG maintains documents and discussion in the following areas available to IDPF members only:
