| Summary: | An electronic book (or e-book) presents traditional book structures/functions in digital
form. In digital form, it is able to include multimedia/hypermedia services as well as
other special features. Present e-book frameworks have shortcomings in their
representation format, especially for academic e-publishing. The problems include the ebook
personalization by user, the support for e-book publisher and the file format. Users
may require additional capabilities such as e-book structuring and layout. E-book does
not provide a flexible layout to content developers to come out with an e-book
personalization structure. However, e-book personalization requires a file format for
digital content representation, portability and interoperability. In order to address these
problems, this thesis aims to identify requirements of personalization elements, to
represent e-book personalization, to formalize e-book personalization components, and
to develop e-book packaging control and standards. These are achieved in three phases:
the representation/personalization, builder specification, and e-book practical analysis. |
