PD IEC/TS 62229:2017

What is PD IEC/TS 62229 - Multimedia e-publishing and e-book standards about?  

The e-publishing market is an environment for the distribution of multimedia e-book contents and the related data among data preparers, publishers and readers.

PD IEC/TS 62229 describes a conceptual model for multimedia e-publishing and e-book. The conceptual model is specified from the standardization point of view in order to clarify the functionality of e-publishing/e-book components and the relationships between them and to define e-publishing services. 

PD IEC/TS 62229 provides the key technology to be standardized in the e-publishing environment. The modelling is expected to be used as a reference for discussing and developing new standardization work on multimedia e-publishing and e-books. 

The model is given as an example of the models for the multimedia data creation, data structure, equipment/system structure and user-system interface defined in IEC 61998.
