Specifications

The International Digital Publishing Forum engages in trade and standards activities. The goal of the IDPF's standards activities is to produce industry adopted specifications which benefit publishers, technology companies and, most importantly, consumers.

Our guiding values in regard to specifications are to strive toward:

  • Providing a forum for the discussion of issues and technologies related to electronic books.
  • Developing, publishing, and maintaining common specifications relating to electronic books and promoting the successful adoption of these specifications.
  • Promoting industry-wide participation of electronic publishing through training sessions, guidelines, and demonstrations of proven technology.
  • Identifying, evaluating and recommending standards created by other bodies related to electronic books.
  • Encouraging interoperable implementations of electronic book related systems and providing a forum for resolution of interoperability issues.
  • Accommodating differences in language, culture, reading and learning styles, and individual abilities.

The IDPF's work in standards development occurs within the structure of Working Groups. Working Groups currently work in the areas of Metadata and Identifiers, Rights and Rules and Publication Structure.

The following specifications have been approved by the membership and officially published:
