Your Device Won't Matter: Converging Standards for Digital Publishing

Fri, March 31, 8:30 to 10:00am, Palmer House Hilton, Floor: Third Floor, Salon 12

Abstract

For many years publishing scholarly content online meant preparing it to be read on a desktop or laptop browser. But the proliferation of mobile devices such as smartphones and tablets has made the web designer’s task more difficult and given rise to standards optimized for different devices (PDF vs. HTML vs. EPUB). However, standards are now poised to converge so as to produce complex documents that can be rendered online or offline, on devices of widely varying sizes and capabilities, allowing increased flexibility for scholarly content.
