 Call for participation - Joint Working Group re EPUB3 and METS

 

his is a call for participation in a new joint working group (JWG) between
our TC46/SC4 (Technical interoperability) committee and two other committees
-- ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC 34 (Document description and processing languages) and
IEC/TC 100/TA 10 (Multimedia e-publishing and e-book technologies).

This JWG will initially investigate the means for improving the
archivability of EPUB 3 through the creation of a METS profile. The scope of
the JWG may later be extended to other file formats such as OOXML and ODF;
the charter of the group has intentionally been left generic to allow for
future efforts. 

TC 46/SC 4 will have primary responsible for METS profiling. Metadata
requirements for long term preservation will be established jointly.
Consider nominating persons who have experience in long term preservation in
general and in METS usage in particular. Familiarity with textMD (Technical
metadata for text) and PREMIS preservation metadata specifications is a
bonus.

A document describing the establishment of the joint working group is
available from a link on the ballot webpage and the announcement e-mail. 

These groups do most of their work via teleconference or videoconference,
but may occasionally meet in person. However, attendance at the in-person
meetings is not a requirement for participation.
