Abstract:
This article presents an architecture for the production and delivery of Rich Digital Books on the Web. These
books are transformed and enriched with supporting media, like images and sound, pursuing the goal of reaching
broader audiences and enlarging usage possibilities. The architecture affords for the production process’
automation, and thus has the potential to increase digital books’ availability. The architecture also enjoys a
high flexibility degree, allowing the production of books that can be read with Web-based technologies, such
as Web browsers.
