FOREWORD
1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising
all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote
international co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To
this end and in addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications,
Technical Reports, Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as “IEC
Publication(s)”). Their preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested
in the subject dealt with may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-
governmental organizations liaising with the IEC also participate in this preparation. IEC collaborates closely
with the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by
agreement between the two organizations.
2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international
consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all
interested IEC National Committees.
3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National
Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC
Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any
misinterpretation by any end user.
4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications
transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence
between any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in
the latter.
5) IEC itself does not provide any attestation of conformity. Independent certification bodies provide conformity
assessment services and, in some areas, access to IEC marks of conformity. IEC is not responsible for any
services carried out by independent certification bodies.
6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication.
7) No liability shall attach to IEC or its directors, employees, servants or agents including individual experts and
members of its technical committees and IEC National Committees for any personal injury, property damage or
other damage of any nature whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, or for costs (including legal fees) and
expenses arising out of the publication, use of, or reliance upon, this IEC Publication or any other IEC
Publications.
8) Attention is drawn to the Normative references cited in this publication. Use of the referenced publications is
indispensable for the correct application of this publication.
International Standard IEC 62605 has been prepared by technical area 10: Multimedia e-
publishing and e-book, of IEC technical committee 100: Audio, video and multimedia systems
and equipment.
The text of this standard is based on the following documents:
FDIS Report on voting
100/1829/FDIS 100/1863/RVD

INTRODUCTION
Markets for multimedia e-book and e-publishing require standardization of formats for e-book
data interchange among associated people; authors, data preparers, publishers and readers.
The formats are classified into submission format, interchange format and reader’s format.
The submission format supports an interaction between authors and data preparers. The
reader’s format depends on e-publishing equipment. The interchange format provides an
interchange format for data preparers and publishers and therefore should be e-publishing
equipment independent.
The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) draws attention to the fact that it is
claimed that compliance with this document may involve the use of patents.
Sharp Corporation has informed IEC that it has patent applications or granted patents.
The IEC takes no position concerning the evidence, validity and scope of this patent right.
The holder of this patent right has assured the IEC that he/she is willing to negotiate licences
under reasonable and non-discriminatory terms and conditions with applicants throughout the
world. In this respect, the statement of the holder of this patent right is registered with the IEC.
Information may be obtained from:
Sharp Corporation
Platform Technology Development Center
2613-1, Ichinomoto-cho, Tenri, Nara
632-8587 JAPAN
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the
subject of patent rights other than those identified above. The IEC shall not be held
responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
ISO (www.iso.org/patents) and IEC (http://patents.iec.ch/) maintain on-line data bases of
patents relevant to their standards. Users are encouraged to consult the data bases for the
most up to date information concerning patents.

INTERCHANGE FORMAT FOR E-DICTIONARIES



1 Scope
This International Standard specifies the interchange format for e-dictionaries among
publishers, content creators and manufacturers.
This International Standard does not address the following aspects:
• data formats for reading devices;
• elements necessary for final print reproduction only;
• rendering issues related to physical devices;
• security issues such as DRM for document.
2 Normative references
The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document.
For dated references, only the edition cited applies. For undated references, the latest edition
of the referenced document (including any amendments) applies.
IEC/TS 62229:2006, Multimedia systems and equipment – Multimedia e-publishing and e-
book – Conceptual model for multimedia e-publishing
3 Terms and definitions
For the purposes of this document, the following terms and definitions apply.
3.1
manufacturer
organization or person that manufactures hardware and/or software of the e-book
4 Position and requirements for interchange format for E-dictionaries
4.1 Interchange format for e-dictionaries in contents creation/distribution model
The conceptual model for multimedia e-publishing (IEC/TS 62229) defines a contents
creation/distribution model shown in Figure 1.
Author <--(1)--> Data preparer <--(2)--> Publisher --(3)--> Reader
IEC  1383/11

It should be noted that the role of manufacturers of e-dictionary hardware and software
overlaps that of the publisher in Figure 1. Therefore, a slightly modified model will be
assumed for this International Standard, as shown in Figure 2.
Author <--(1)--> Data preparer <--(2)--> Publisher (manufacturer) --(3)--> Reader
IEC  1384/11
Figure 2 – Contents creation/distribution model (modified)
This International Standard specifies the interchange format between data preparers and
publishers, i.e. a format for (2) in Figure 2 though it may be used as a reader's format.
4.2 Requirements for interchange format for e-dictionaries
An interchange format for e-dictionaries needs to address the following.
• Description of keywords, links from the keywords to entries (link data) and the order of the
entries.
• Description of articles for each entry (entry data). This includes text, image, and other
multimedia functionalities generally required for e-books.
• Description of bibliographical data and other data. This should include the name of the
author and the publisher, the title of the content and the explanatory note. The relationship
between these concepts is visually represented in Figure 3.
• Description of contents written in various languages.

5 File format
This International Standard is based on XMDF (as described in IEC 62448:2009, Annex B)
and LeXML. The standard format is represented in XML and hereafter called XMDF-LeXML
format.
NOTE LeXML is proposed by Digital ASSIST Ltd. Its original specifications are found at
http://www.d-assist.com/index.html.

6 Semantics
Elements of the XMDF-LeXML format can be rendered in accordance with appropriate style
specifications, which are outside the scope of this International Standard.
7 File format details
This Clause specifies the XMDF-LeXML format mentioned in Clause 5.
The XMDF-LeXML format is an interchange format for e-dictionaries multimedia e-book data
interchange, targeted at data preparers and publishers rather than the reader, with an
emphasis on mobile devices as a target platform. Much like HTML, this format does not split
the document in fixed pages, but determines the layout according to the viewer device’s
display size, the font in use, and so on. In this standard, such contents will be referred to as
flowing content, as opposed to paged content.
8 Overview of the format’s structure
Flowing contents are usually composed of several concatenated flows. This standard makes
no particular requirement concerning the way the flowing content should be split into
individual flows. This decision is left to the data preparer, to accommodate the various type of
contents. For instance, a newspaper may have one flow per article, a novel one per chapter,
and so on. It is also possible not to split the content, and to have only one flow. However, it
should be noted that particularly large flows, or an extremely large number of flows, may
impact on runtime performance, depending on the specific version of the viewer in use, the
available memory, and so on.
The XML tree structure of the format is shown in Figure 4.

The actual contents of each flow, in other words, what will be displayed by the viewer, is
recorded in the object instance. The object instance is registered in object_entry, and
associated with an ID number and other auxiliary data, turning it into playable / displayable
data. Flo
