Ebook Technology Watch:
Compressed Data: Tags Could Help Keep E-Book Links Alive (NY Times, registration required)
Proponents of electronic books have been talking for years about the flexibility of digital information. They envision readers of e-books being able to click on a footnote or an offhand reference to another book and immediately view a copy of the citation in question.
It works by tagging each e-book or other piece of digital content with a number called a digital object identifier, or D.O.I.
The number acts like a bar code, enabling companies throughout the publishing industry to track material according to a standard format. When embedded in an electronic document like an e-book or a Web page, the identifier also functions as a hyperlink to other relevant material.
Dozens of book publishers — including large companies like McGraw-Hill, Random House and Houghton Mifflin — have started to tag their content with the numbers or have plans to do so, said Jacqueline LeDonne, marketing director for the International D.O.I. Foundation, the nonprofit standards group that developed the format.
