Hi Emmanuel,<div><br></div><div>I contributed to the early OPDS spec design, and OLPC uses it for bookserver tools used by various school deployments. Bastien has some good links below.</div><div><br></div><div>SJ</div><div>

<br>
I discovered today OPDS (Open Publication Distribution System) which is<br>
a XML feed norm to spread e-books catalogs. You may get more information at:<br>
<a href="https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/wiki/OPDS" target="_blank">https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/wiki/OPDS</a><br>
<br>
This seems to be pretty new but looks to be an interesting initiative. I<br>
developed a straightforward XML feed for Kiwix content manager; this<br>
works but using standards is often a better approach than re-inventing<br>
the wheel (no idea why exactly I did not heard about that at the time I<br>
was working on my own XML feed system).<br>
<br>
Does someone have information/know-how/feedback about OPDS?<br>
<br>
