On 17th August 2017, there was a terrorist attack on La Rambla in Barcelona. From that day on, citizens would sporadically generate displays of sympathy by leaving flowers, messages, candles or other objects along the length of the avenue. Barcelona City Hall created a website including a digital book of condolences. It also placed a paper book of condolences in its Salón de Ciento for anyone who wished to express sympathy in person. Days after the attempt, a team of people working for City Hall put on a display in La Rambla. Its aim was to gather the displays of sympathy, expressions of mourning and citizen solidarity, processing them and making them accessible via various digital platforms in order to highlight their significance.

Objectius: descriure els mecanismes i la funció de les metadades internes i descriptives en el format EPUB3 segons els estàndards vigents i les bones pràctiques difoses per la indústria editorial, i identificar un conjunt de recomanacions especialment orientades a petits editors o autors que s'autoediten les obres. -- Metodologia: l'article és descriptiu i instructiu, ja que a partir de l'explicació de l'estructura interna d'un llibre en format EPUB3 s'expliquen els diferents elements de metadades, els estàndards corresponents, la seva estructura i els possibles valors. El conjunt de propostes s'exemplifica a partir d'un cas d'estudi. -- Resultats: el format EPUB disposa de mecanismes de descripció del context, el contingut i l’estructura dels llibres que emulen, en origen, els instruments específicament orientats a la catalogació, una mostra de la consolidació del model de metadades en origen. Els autors recomanen especialment la inclusió dels cinc elements de metadades obligatoris, tres dels quals (identificador, títol i idioma) dins l'esquema Dublin Core i dos segons un esquema propi, per descriure la data de la darrera modificació i la durada dels mitjans audiovisuals inclosos. Objectives: This paper describes how to use internal and descriptive metadata in EPUB 3 according to current standards and the good practices disseminated by the publishing industry. It also offers a series of recommendations which will be especially useful for small publishers and book authors wishing to publish their own works. -- Methodology: The paper is descriptive and instructive, using an explanation of the internal structure of a book in EPUB3 format to consider different metadata elements and corresponding standards, their structure and possible values. The authors use a case study to exemplify their recommendations. -- Results: The EPUB mechanisms that describe the context, content and structure of books essentially emulate the tools that are specifically designed for cataloguing, an indication of the consolidation of the metadata model in its origin. The authors especially recommend the inclusion of five mandatory metadata elements: identifier, title and language, as drawn from the Dublin Core standard, and two further elements, selected according to the user’s own scheme, to describe the date of the last modification and the duration of the audiovisual media included.

Aquest treball descriu alguns dels aspectes del llibre electrònic que més debat generen, especialment el cientificotècnic, a Espanya i per a això el document aborda el tema de l'IVA, els preus proposats per les editorials i la necessitat d'introduir-se a nous mercats de lectors mitjançant diferents models de negocis. A més, esmenta algunes conclusions dels avantatges que posseeix aquest recurs, que, per les seves àmplies possibilitats intrínseques en matèria de servei intangible d'un nou tipus de text, desenvolupa facilitats per a la distribució i difusió mundial. D'aquesta manera, el llibre electrònic ha permès a les editorials adaptar-se a les necessitats reals dels seus clients i als processos actuals d'adquisició de monografies. Per tot l'anterior, aquest article pretén mostrar un panorama general de com s'està comportant el llibre electrònic en el context espanyol. This paper describes some of the most controversial areas of debate on the subject of the scientific and technical e-book market in Spain: VAT regulations, publisher pricing proposals and the need to use different business models to reach new reader markets. The paper also describes the advantages of the scientific and technical e-book as a resource, arguing that because it constitutes an intangible service that offers a new type of text, it has the potential to be more easily distributed and disseminated worldwide. Finally the paper proposes that the e-book has allowed publishers to adapt to their clients’ real needs and to current trends in the acquisition of monographs. Finally, taking all these factors into consideration, the paper provides a general overview of the state of the e-book in Spain.

Objectiu: analitzar i valorar les tendències actuals pel que fa a l'ús i explotació de les metadades en els mecanismes de cerca i organització dels llibres digitals, a les plataformes de distribució i en els dispositius o aplicacions de lectura. A partir de l'ús observat, extreure'n recomanacions per a l'assignació de metadades en el marc de l'estàndard de metadades EPUB3 però amb una visió pràctica i aplicada. -- Metodologia: es revisen manualment les dades incorporades en les plataformes Amazon, iTunes Stores i Projecte Gutenberg. També es revisen manualment les dades usades en les aplicacions de lectura Adobe Digital Editions, Apple iBooks, Azardi, Calibre i Readium, tant els sistemes d'exploració com els sistemes de recuperació de llibres per paraules clau per ítem i per col·lecció (biblioteques personals o externes). -- Resultat: les plataformes de distribució no tenen en compte les metadades previstes per l'estàndard EPUB3 incloses en el mateix document per tal d'alimentar la descripció del producte en la seva incorporació. Les aplicacions de lectura, en canvi, sí que importen aquestes dades, però en fan un ús mínim en la cerca i organització dels llibres. Com a conseqüència d'això es recomana als autors i editors incorporar les metadades obligatòries segons l'estàndard EPUB3 per permetre la validació de publicacions, però evitar els mecanismes d'enriquiment i assignar valors únics a cada element. Objective: This paper analyses and assesses current trends in using and exploiting metadata in the search and organization mechanisms of digital books, on distribution platforms and in ebook devices or applications. On the basis of their findings, the writers make a series of recommendations for adopting a practical and flexible approach to assigning metadata in the framework of the EPUB3 metadata standard. -- Methodology: The writers manually revised the data incorporated on the platforms Amazon, iTunes Store and Project Gutenberg and in the ebook applications Adobe Digital Editions, Apple's iBooks, AZARDI, Calibre and Readium, examining exploration systems and book retrieval systems by keyword, item and collection (personal or external libraries). -- Results: The distribution platforms make no provision for the metadata defined by the EPUB3 standard and included in the same document in order to develop the description of the product. By contrast, ebook applications do take account of these data, even though they make minimal use of them in book search and organization functions. The writers therefore recommend authors and editors to incorporate the metadata that are obligatory according to the EPUB 3 standard, in order to allow files to be validated, but avoid using semantic enrichment mechanisms and assign single values to each element.

Objectius: la incorporació dels llibres electrònics a les biblioteques suposa una sèrie de canvis en els processos de gestió de les col·leccions. En l'article s'aborden tots els aspectes afectats pels nous factors que s'introdueixen amb la gestió dels llibres electrònics. -- Metodologia: s'analitzen els canvis que es produeixen en els criteris de selecció i especialment en els nous condicionants que intervenen en el procés d'adquisició, considerant els models de negoci principals que s'estan aplicant. Pel que fa a l'avaluació, s'estableixen les dades estadístiques principals que s'han de tenir en compte per valorar aquests recursos. També s'analitzen breument les plataformes de préstec existents fins avui a Espanya (la Libranda, l'OdiloTK i el XeBook). -- Resultats: s'exposen, a manera de reflexió, una sèrie de conclusions en què es reflecteixen algunes qüestions clau que les biblioteques haurien d'assumir a l'hora de plantejar-se les actuacions i negociacions sobre el préstec de llibres electrònics.Objectives: incorporating e-books into public libraries requires a series of changes in the management processes of the libraries' collections. This paper addresses those aspects affected by the new factors arising with the management of e-books. -- Methodology: an analysis is undertaken of the changes in the selection criteria and, in particular, of the new determinants affecting the acquisition process, by examining the main business models that have been adopted. The most relevant statistical data are identified for evaluating these resources. A brief analysis is also provided of the lending platforms that have been used in Spain to date (Libranda, OdiloTK and Xe-book). -- Results: a series of conclusions are drawn, by way of reflection, that capture some of the key questions that libraries need to address when undertaking actions and entering into negotiations for the incorporation of e-book lending systems.
