Portable Web Publications

The Digital Publishing Interest Group has published a Working Draft of Portable Web Publications for the Open Web Platform. 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.

Une grande avancée pour la publication numérique, enfin la possibilité de travailler avec des standards pour du en ligne et du hors ligne. Il s’agit là des prémisses de la rencontre entre le web et le livre numérique – le format EPUB.
