[Athen] Zoning a Book

[kerscher at montana.com]

Hello Athens with CC to the EPUB in Higher Education working group      

 

The EPUB in Higher Ed folks will be proposing for AHG this year a session
about E-Text production. I am sure the concept of zoning would be covered.

 

Traditionally when converting scans or PDF, one would draw a rectangle
around a block of text. These would then be threaded ( linked one after the
other) to get the proper reading order. Sidebars would then not get mushed
into the adjacent paragraph and semantics could be assigned, like headings
asides, etc.

 

Best

George

Subject: [Athen] Zoning a Book

 

Greetings,

    I am new to the field and my predecessor makes a few references to
"zoning a book" in their notes but not much detail is included.  Googling
has only presented me with other forms of zoning, so could someone please
explain what "zoning" is in reference to making a book more accessible, as
well as some tips for this process.

 

Thanks,

Amy Willard
