EPUB Metadata: More than 1 Summary should give error

Open MyDK opened this issue 3 years ago • 3 comments

My EPUB 3 file has more than 1 schema accessibility summary: manifest-with-2-schemasummary EPUBCheck does not give an error? Should it not give an error, as EPUB should only contain 1 Test in Pagina EPUBChecker v2.0.6 ... or maybe I should report this at Ace Checker, right?

I would think this would be warning under ACE not in EPUBCheck, since a number of metadata properties can be duplicated. For this one specifically this would have implications with Libraries and Bookstores exposing the accessibiltySummary who are expecting only one summary and may show the first or the last one depending on how they have coded the metadata import.

It's not restricted to one instance in the specification, so it's not an epubcheck error.

For Ace, maybe if the summaries don't have different language/direction declarations we could issue a warning. I wouldn't want legitimate cases caught in too broad a rule.

It's not restricted to one instance in the specification, ah.. I thougt it was. Yes, if you have different language summaries, it makes sense to allow more than one.
