The International
Digital Publishing Forum (IDPF) is a trade and standards organization dedicated
to the development and promotion of electronic publishing and content
consumption.
The work of the IDPF promotes the development of electronic
publishing applications and products that will benefit creators of content,
makers of reading systems, and consumers. The IDPF develops and maintains the
EPUB content publication standard that enables the creation and transport of
reflowable digital books and other types of content as digital publications that
are interoperable between disparate EPUB-compliant reading devices and
applications.
The IDPF welcomes book, newspaper, journal and magazine publishers,
booksellers, software and reading system developers, authors, and other groups
interested in digital reading to join our organization.
The goals of the IDPF are to:
-
Promote
industry-wide adoption of electronic publishing through standards
development, conferences, best practices, and demonstrations of proven
technology.
-
Develop,
publish, and maintain common standards (e.g. EPUB) relating to electronic
publications and promote the successful adoption of these specifications.
-
Encourage
interoperable implementations of EPUB publications and reading systems and
provide a forum for resolution of interoperability issues.
-
Identify,
evaluate, and recommend standards created by other bodies related to
electronic publishing.
-
Provide a
forum for the discussion of issues and technologies related to electronic
publishing.
-
Accommodate
differences in language, culture, reading and learning styles, and
individual abilities.
