Digital Publishing Interest Group

The Digital Publishing Interest Group, whose home page this was is now closed. Activities in the group has been taken up by:

All these groups are part of the Publishing@W3C, born out of the merger of IDPF and W3C.

– Ivan Herman (ivan@w3.org)



The mission of the Digital Publishing Interest Group is to provide a technical forum for experts in the digital publishing ecosystem to hold discussions and recommend solutions regarding a future vision of Digital Publishing. The main message of that vision is that the current format- and workflow-level separation between offline/portable and online document publishing should be diminished to zero. The Interest Group will provide technical direction, identify technical issues, and outline prototype solutions for relevant Working Groups of the W3C to finalize as Web standards. This group is not chartered to publish Recommendations; instead, the goal is to cooperate with the relevant W3C Working Groups to ensure that the requirements of this particular community are met.
