Sample OPS 2.0 Publication Using DTBook

[IDPF]

The following sample OPS 2.0 publication was created by Markus Gylling, International Technical Development Coordinator for the DAISY Consortium.

The sample OPS publication uses DTBook as the content format and the book is in the public domain. The OPS file and OCF container were created using the Daisy Pipeline, an open source project which will be released in a usable state in a few months.

We would like to thank Markus for his contribution. The file can be downloaded at:

I think there's a problem with this OCF package: The META-INF/container.xml file fails to declare the namespace required by the specification. Namespace-aware applications may therefore fail to open the container.

I'm not completely sure, but in my interpretation, the OCF specification requires that the namespace (urn:oasis:names:tc:opendocument:xmlns:container) must be declared. It's not clear to me, however, whether conforming applications MUST reject a container with missing namespace declaration, or whether they may accept it by falling back to the default namespace. Perhaps someone could clarify.

The file referenced opened in the Adobe Digital Editions but stopped rendering after a certain point. Perhaps validity of the OCF needs to be checked. DOT Reader 0.11.3.G failed to open the document.

Is there any reader which is fully .epub compliant?
