INTERCHANGE FORMAT FOR E-DICTIONARIES

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 technologies, of IEC technical committee 100: Audio, video and
multimedia systems and equipment.
This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition published in 2011. This edition
constitutes a technical revision.
This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous
edition.
a) Ref element is added to facilitate cross reference between entries.
b) A new version of LeXML format, which is one of the base formats of the first edition, has
been expanded and becomes Annex B. (The existing format becomes Annex A.)

INTRODUCTION
Markets for multimedia e-books 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.
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 IEC.
Information may be obtained from:
Sharp Corporation,
22-22 Nagaike-cho,
Abeno-ku,
Osaka 545-8522,
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. 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 documents.
2 Normative references
The following documents, in whole or in part, are normatively referenced in this document and
are indispensable for its application. 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
Key
(1) content data in submission format
(2) content data in interchange format
(3) content data in reader’s format

IEC 62605:2016 © IEC 2016 – 9 –
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
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 formats
This International Standard defines two XML-based formats. One is based on XMDF (as
described in IEC 62448:2013, Annex B) and LeXML. The format is hereafter called
XMDF-LeXML format. The other is based solely on LeXML 3.0. They are presented in
Annex A and Annex B, respectively.
NOTE LeXML is proposed by Digital ASSIST Ltd. Its original specifications are found at
http://www.d-assist.com/index.html (in Japanese).

A.1 General
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 accord
