The document discusses ebook enhancement, which is defined as improving the interactivity of an ebook. Some proposed enhancements include collapsible tables of contents, hidden searchable text, internal and external linking, audio, video, annotations, and bookmarks. However, others argue that many of these features are necessary for ebooks rather than true enhancements. The document also compares enhanced ebooks to apps and discusses various formats and tools for creating enhanced ebooks.

EPUB has been around since 2007; EPUB 3 came out in 2011. We’re told we live in an age of digital disruption, but little has changed in ebooks since before the very first ebookcraft. What’s going on? What might the future of ebooks look like? Should we use EPUB 3.2? Will there ever be an EPUB 4? Are Web Publications real? Part history lesson, part unhinged rant, part futile attempt to predict the future, Dave Cramer will shed light, or at least heat, on the big picture.

Introduction to digital libraries - definitions, examples, concepts and trend...Olaf Janssen
This presentation gives an introduction to digital libraries.
It first explores different defintions of the phrase "Digital Library".
It then looks at 11 real life examples of digital library websites (slides 44-112), including Europeana, Google Books, Flickr the Commons, Delpher, Wikisource, The Memory of the Netherlands and Project Gutenberg. Each of these DLs is assessed against five different criteria (concepts, properties)
- Content/User experience
- Cultural heritage domain (libraries, archives, museums, AV-institutions)
- Controlled / run by
- Content providing parties
- User involvement
Many references are made to Web2.0-concepts from Tim O'Reilly's article http://www.oreilly.com/pub/a/web2/archive/what-is-web-20.html
From these 11x5 = 55 datapoints 6 trend plots are drawn (slides 116-166) to show "what is hot" and "what is not" in the current DL-landscape. Key slide summarizing this = no 168
Finally, some strategies for content & brand distribution of DLs are being discussed (SEO, Wikipedia, social & ego networks) , as well as some financial trends in DLs
This presentation was given by Olaf Janssen (National Library of the Netherlands - KB) as a lecture for students of the master's course "The Library" at Leiden University, most recently on 3-11-2016.
This presentation for Regina Public Library staff in Saskatchewan Canada was meant to introduce Web 2.0, both as a concept as well as some of the main web sites that are at the forefront of web 2.0 services.
Description of the origins and development of the BookServer architecture and the Open Publication Distribution System (OPDS). Why OPDS Catalogs can help build a web of books. Discussion of the challenges ahead.
With tectonic changes taking place in the print publishing industry, we will soon see a redefinition of what the terms "publish" and "book" mean. Aimed at product managers of open source projects, this session will teach anyone how to "publish" a "book" using open source tools. Participants will gain practical formatting and distribution knowledge necessary to publish their own ebooks.
People, Communities and Platforms: Digital Cultural Heritage and the WebTrevor Owens
Libraries, archives and museums are sites of community memory. The first public computerized bulletin board system was called community memory. Trevor’s talk will explore the connections between the development of the web as a global knowledge base, the open source software movement, and digital strategy for libraries, archives and museums. This keynote talk will synthesize research on the history of online community software with practical experience working on open source digital library projects. This exploration underscores the essential role cultural heritage institutions need to play in this era of the web and some important distinctions between how the concept of community is deployed in discussions of the web.

Removing Uninteresting Bytes in Software FuzzingAftab Hussain
Imagine a world where software fuzzing, the process of mutating bytes in test seeds to uncover hidden and erroneous program behaviors, becomes faster and more effective. A lot depends on the initial seeds, which can significantly dictate the trajectory of a fuzzing campaign, particularly in terms of how long it takes to uncover interesting behaviour in your code. We introduce DIAR, a technique designed to speedup fuzzing campaigns by pinpointing and eliminating those uninteresting bytes in the seeds. Picture this: instead of wasting valuable resources on meaningless mutations in large, bloated seeds, DIAR removes the unnecessary bytes, streamlining the entire process.
In this work, we equipped AFL, a popular fuzzer, with DIAR and examined two critical Linux libraries -- Libxml's xmllint, a tool for parsing xml documents, and Binutil's readelf, an essential debugging and security analysis command-line tool used to display detailed information about ELF (Executable and Linkable Format). Our preliminary results show that AFL+DIAR does not only discover new paths more quickly but also achieves higher coverage overall. This work thus showcases how starting with lean and optimized seeds can lead to faster, more comprehensive fuzzing campaigns -- and DIAR helps you find such seeds.

Editor's Notes
I grew up with the internet, but first and foremost in libraries, where my love for books started. As I studied to understand digital media, I started realising that the internet would have a transformative effect on all media industries. In 2008, I started teaching a course in digital publishing – ebooks, really – and that’s why I’m here today. I have a few stories about my personal relationship with computers and books in a blog series called: “I’m a geek, but love books first and foremost”: http://kosieeloff.com/2012/01/01/im-a-geek-but-love-books-first-and-foremost-1/Image:http://tallulahlucy.files.wordpress.com/2012/04/internet-addiction.jpg

For instance, there are thousands of hits for a search of the term “e-book” or “ebook” on EbscoHost. The terms “electronic book” and “digital book” returned hundreds of hits, but significantly less than the former ones. I also discovered references to terms such as interactive multimedia stories, web-enhanced books, mixed reality books, and 3D books.
The system covers the composition of virtual books into advanced 3D-models based on simple 2D-page scans. These 3D-books can then interactively be experienced on 3D- or 2D displays and controlled by contact-free, gestural interaction. These systems have completely been developed by the Fraunhofer HHI, in cooperation with the Bavarian State Library in Munich. http://www.hhi.fraunhofer.de/fields-of-competence/interactive-media-human-factors/products-services/contact-free-interaction/ipoint-control/exhibits/interactive-3d-book-explorer.html
