L’identité de l’entité éditrice, qui porte la responsabilité juridique, est indiquée

In many countries, identifying the publisher is a legal requirement. But beyond the local legal aspects, it is good that someone is responsible for the content of the site and that that person is identified.

Objectives

  • Allow users to unambiguously identify a physical interlocutor capable of answering questions about the proposed content, or assume responsibility for these contents.
  • Reassure the user by allowing direct identification of the responsible entity.
  • Improve content support by search engines and indexing tools

Implementation

  • Le nom de l’entité éditrice est écrit dans le corps de l’ouvrage, dans une section identifiée, le plus souvent intitulée « Mentions légales » et identifiée avec le role doc-copyright dans le code.
  • The name of the publishing house is specified in the OPF file thanks to dc:publisher
  • The name of the publishing house is specified in the ONIX card

Control

  • Verify the presence of the publishing entity’s name in the body of the work, in a dedicated section.
  • Verify within an ebook reader that the publisher’s name appears in the book details or metadata view.
  • Alternatively, refer to the ACE report or the output of the Readium CLI, which extract these elements.
  • Verify with distributors and on online retail or lending sites that this information is present and correct.
  • Vérifier sur les sites de prêt ou de vente en ligne que cette information est présente et correcte.

Validation

  • Reported by Ace by DAISY.
  • Needs to be verified by a human.
