Text in XML (DTBook) is the Foundation for the DAISY/NISO Standard

Here is a list of some of the features and benefits of the DAISY/NISO Standard.

• DTBook is the XML vocabulary to identify components of books.
• It is a target DTD especially suited for the conversion of books.
• It offers rich semantics that can enhance the reading experience.

DAISY/NISO Standard also:

• offers native support for rich structural navigation;
• provides native support for skippability; and
• supports refreshable and paper braille;

Finally, perhaps one of the most important advantages of the richness of the DAISY/NISO Standard is that it offers us the opportunity to begin to realistically explore how we can use DTBook as the source for publisher collaboration.
