I am about to write a tool which would help indexing EPUB into ILSes.
My first guess is to produce ISO2709 or MARCXML record from EPUB files,
but since MARCXML or ISO2709 is not really what I would call the more
portable (UNIMARC and MARC21 may both be handled in the same file
format), I am rather considering producing OAI-DC or html5 +schema.org
<http://schema.org/>+dublin corebut that would rely on EPUB3.
Any comment anyone ?
Has anyone considered such a tool ?
Is there any hidden corpse lurking around I should be aware of ?
A couple of years ago I wrote a TEI to ePub creation tool. I learned a lot from
that process. Most importantly, I learned the inner HTML must validate. (Whew!)
If you wanted to include full-text indexing of epub files into your catalog --
which I would personally endorse -- then you could to the following things:
* use the metadata coming from the ancillary epub files to create MARC
records
* use the full text data come from the HTML to support full text indexing
My creation tool is located on Github --
https://github.com/ericleasemorgan/epub/ The most important file is buried in
the bin directory and called alex2epub.pl or build.pl. I know, theses files
create epub files and not really index them, but in order to index them a
person needs to know how they are built.
Good luck. I really like the idea of full text induing in library "catalogs".

Thanks for your answer Eric.
That was not my intention though to index directly full text.
Getting out a biblio record is my first step.
But this could be a nice goal, provided that there is a kind of
namespace for fulltext metadata in the ILS.
