The U.S., Japan and Korea have realized the importance of establishing standards for eBook document formats and with government bodies, related industries and academic circles, OEB PS, JepaX and EBKS were established. However, compared to OEB of the U.S. and JepaX of Japan, EBKS contains different objective for establishment and different structures. As a result, for converting between documents of different standards, exact analysis of the document structures are called for and minimization of information loss when actually converting documents is required. Therefore, a method for explicit exchange between documents of different standards minimizing document structure is proposed and examples are looked at. As a result, in this paper, conversion possibilities between EBKS and OEB/JepaX are introduced and the result can be applied to cases when exchanging eBook standards and other formats.

This paper is to develop metadata format for eBook document standard at Korea. Metadata formats of OEBF, JepaX and AAP were compared and analyzed on the criteria such as purpose, basic elements, characteristics, compatibility, extensibility and convertibility. EBKS metadata format based on Dublin Core was developed in terms of easy to use, resources descriptions and discovery, extensibility and compatibility between other metadata formats such as MARC and Dublin Core. Finally, research and revision direction of the eBook document standard were proposed for the future study.

Many countries have established eBook standards adequate to their environments. In USA, OEB PS is announced for distribution and display of eBooks, in Japan, JepaX is announced for storage and exchange, and in Korea, EBKS is made for clear exchange of eBook contents. These diverse objectives lead to different content structures. These variety of content structure will cause a problem in exchanging them. To correctly exchange eBook contents, the content structure should be considered. So, In this paper, we study conversion methods of standard eBooks contents based on Korean eBook standard, with contemplating content structure. To convert contents properly, the mapping relations should be clearly defined. For this, we consider standard's structure and extension mechanisms, and use path notations and namespaces for precise description. Moreover, through analysis of each mapping relationships, we classify conversion cases into automatic, semi-automatic, and manual conversions. Finally we write up conversion scripts and experiment with them.

전자책이란 책의 내용을 디지털 형태로 가공, 저장한 출판물을 의미한다. 인터넷의 급속한 확산에 따른 디지털 컨텐츠 시장의 급성장 속에서 전자책 서비스는 전세계적으로 많은 관심을 집중시키고 있다. BSP 들의 각기 다른 전자책 문서 포멧의 사용에 따라 전자책 컨텐츠의 교환 및 공유가 어렵게 되자 미국과 일본에 이어 한국에서도 2001년 한국전자책문서표준(EBKS)이 한국전자책 컨소시엄(EBK)에 의해 제정되었다. 한국전자책문서표준은 OEB(미국전자책표준안), JepaX(일본전자책표준안)와는 달리 고정된 문서의 구조를 정의하여 전자책 컨텐츠의 교환을 보장하고 있으며, XML을 기본으로 하여 기존의 HTML, PDF 방식의 전자책의 단점을 극복하고 있다. 본 논문에서는 한국전자책 문서표준(EBKS)을 기반으로 웹 상에서 유연하게 서비스가 가능한 전자책의 모델을 제시하고 구현된 전자책을 소개한다.
