The recent announcement of the EPUB3.0 e-book standard with enhanced features is expected to bring about much development and change to the production and circulation of e-books. This study thus set out to implement an EPUB3.0-based e-book containing various layout screens and interactive functions to stimulate readers' interest and investigate the production method considering the simultaneous publication of paper book and e-book. As for methodology and content, the investigator completed an edition and layout design and added an interactive function to it with Adobe Indesign CC(2014) and saved it as an EPUB3.0 file. She then opened the save EPUB file in the Sigil program, checked its specific codes and errors, and made revisions for its completion. The completed EPUB3.0 file was put to the test by installing four EPUB viewers, which were capable of implementing the EPUB3.0 features well based on the fitness results of epubtest.org and uploading files, in desktop and mobile devices. The present study claims its significance by implementing an EPUB3.0-based e-book capable of fixed layout and interactive features, cutting down the time and costs to make an e-book considerably by linking and using a production program, and proposing the possibility of simultaneous publication of paper book and e-book.

To access PDF documents on an electronic book, PDF documents need to be converted into EPUB which is a standard format of the electronic book. When converting a PDF document into EPUB format, we need to convert color representations from CMYK into RGB representation. It is possible to give a visual effect and a user interaction using a video and JavaScript supported by EPUB format. The schemes for converting from PDF to EPUB are studied in this paper. (1) The first study is to carry out not to lose the color conversion effect using an ICC profile. (2) The second one is a layout configuration in the conversion process. (3) The third one is to highlight a specific content such as quiz platform to provide interactive visual effect for electronic book readers. Finally, in this paper we will show the usability of EPUB based eBook converting scheme through user study.

The study of the compatibility of EPUB DRM, granted by the Korea Copyright Commission, as a CT R & D project (Project Title: Development of standard reference software technology for the International Standard EPUB-based eBook DRM) developed standards such as profile standards for encryption, digital signature and authentication certificates and standards for technical terms of rights information. In 2012, these four standards have been established as the Korean Industrial Standards under the names of 'Encryption specification for EPUB DRM', 'the Digital signature specification for EPUB DRM', 'the Certificate specification for EPUB DRM', and 'Definitions of Right Terms for EPUB DRM' through the ODPF(Open Digital Standardization Forum) and the TTA(Telecommunications Technology Association). In spite of the establishment of the eBook DRM standards, however, the absence of the standard technology which supports the compatibility for issues and changes of licenses makes it unable to use eBooks served by different eBook distributors. This study tries to investigate technological approaches to methods of license issues supporting eBook DRM compatibility on the basis of the above-mentioned four EPUB DRM standards and to provide an industrially accepted technological model.

본 연구에서는 EPUB기반의e-Book 콘텐츠를 스마트러닝환경에서학습객체로 활용하고자한다. 이를 위해e-Book의 표준인 EPUB을 분석하여 SCORM의 콘텐츠 모델을 적용하여 확장 설계하였으며, 더블린코어와 LOM 메타데이터를 Collection Map을 이용하여 EPUB 기반의 학습객체메타데이터인ELOM을 설계하였다. EPUB기반의 학습객체가 LMS에서 추적관리가 가능하도록 SCORM2004의 CMI 데이터 모델을 바탕으로 학습객체 특성에 맞는 기본 데이터 모델을 정의하였다. 설계된 학습객체의 운용 가능성을 평가하기 위해 EPUP기반 오픈소스 콘텐츠인 모비딕의 bodymatter를 학습객체로 재구현한 후 ADL의 SCORM2004 $4^{th}$ Test Suite1.1.1을 이용하여 검증하였다. 본 연구에서 설계된 ELOM은 스마트 스크린으로 확장하여 적용할 수 있다.

Research on the Development of EPUB SCP(Secure Content Protection) Technical Specification and International Standardization has been carried out as a R&D project granted by the Korea Copyright Commission since 2014. The research aims to build a standard framework for the EPUB DRM(Digital Rights Management) based on the Readium LCP(Licensed Content Protection) and KS EPUB DRM specifications, to develop element technologies for the framework, and to standardize it as an IDPF(International Digital Publishing Forum) industrial standard. One of the essential features of the EPUB DRM developed though this study is to support the lending model of the digital library. This paper introduces LSD(License Status Document) specification which is a DRM license management protocol for the digital library lending process, and also represents a model which can automatically test the implemented entities of the LSD specification, test scenarios and test materials.

The research project also proposed standards of ebook DRM license protocols in order for the four standards to practically apply to ebook DRM compatibility. It is necessary for technology standards to require a compatibility standard test process for testing whether implementations which were developed on the basis of the standard specification, comply with standards. This study suggests an automated compatible standard test method and a test model under the ebook DRM standard technical specification.

In order to secure the compatibility of eBook viewers based on EPUB 3.0, IDPF launched an open project of Readium in February 2012, which supports the standard platform for eBook viewers and the related SDK that can be implemented on different OSs. The current EPUB standard, however, does not provide DRM standards to protect eBook copyrights. Therefore, the compatibility of Readium SDK cannot be secured. Even though the Readium project has tried to design a standard reference software in order to apply DRM independently of EPUB standards, it still does not definitely solve compatibility problems of plural DRMs. This paper suggests a compatibility model based on Readium SDK and ContentMudule technology, in which eBook viewers can work together with plural DRM technology.
