JBIG2 at a glance

JBIG2

JBIG and JBIG2 belong to the branch of imaging standards aimed at scanned monochrome or mostly bitonal content rather than rich photographic colour imaging.

NCX was defined in the 2005 DAISY and ANSI-NISO talking-book standard, then carried forward into EPUB 2 and later treated as a legacy compatibility feature once EPUB 3 introduced XHTML navigation documents.
