The DAISY Online Delivery Protocol
The DAISY Online Delivery protocol is a web service Application Programming Interface (API) that facilitates the delivery of digital content from service providers to end users.
Version 2 of the protocol introduces:
- Improvements in communication to support low bandwidth connections (e.g. mobile cellular data)
- Remote reading system configuration
- Support for packaged and partially packaged content (including EPUB 3)
- Clarification and optimization of functions for greater consistency
- Many more enhancements
A more detailed list of the new features can be found on the development Wiki: https://github.com/daisy/DAISY-Online-Refresh/wiki/New-Features.
The DAISY Online Delivery Protocol Version 2 was approved by the Board in June 2015, and the current version of the specification Version 2.0.2 was published in November 2015. A supporting Guidance document has also been published to assist people implementing the specification.
