 ePub version 3 is the newest version of the standard and has now been recommended by the idpf standards committee.
-In version 2.01 there were three defining documents, the [[OPF]] (Open Packaging Format), the [[OCF]] (Open Container Format), and the [[OPS]] (Open Publications Structure). The OPS referenced a [[DAISY]] standard for the [[NCX]] file. The new 3.0 standard has 4 defining documents with new names. The OPF becomes the [[ePub Publications standard]]. The OCF remains the same and the OPS received the most changes to become the [[ePub Content Documents]]. This now includes the old NCX specifications which are no longer used. A fourth document is concerned with [[Media Overlays]] and is a new feature of ePub version 3. <sup>http://wiki.mobileread.com/wiki/EPub_3</sup>

	The intent of ePub is to serve both as a source file format and an end user format. For this reason the files are collected into a container for easy dissemination and use. This container is generally a zip file but the extension has been renamed to .epub. It has special requirements by including an uncompressed mime type file while the rest of the data in the file is compressed. An ePub reader should be capable of reading the content in its compressed format. <sup>http://wiki.mobileread.com/wiki/EPUB</sup>		The intent of ePub is to serve both as a source file format and an end user format.

 When preserving ePub files, it is important to know what if any rights restrictions and encryptions are present, so that action can be taken to ensure the content can still be accessed in the future. Unfortunately, there are currently no reliable tools we can use to automate this analysis. A general introduction to copy protection and ePub can be found [http://idpf.org/epub-content-protection here].
