tl;dr version: We're converting tons (hundreds of thousands?) of books into digital text.
What is the best format/markup/ebook standard/document standard/other to use for easiest and best text search support? *** Longer version; The following are some desired user experience features of the project, these probably influence the way in which the content should preferably be stored; - Granular access to the text content. Users would be able to fetch a specific phrase in a specific paragraph in a specific page in a specific chapter in a specific book. (A 'document' may consist of a single chapter of a book). - Cross referencing. Most likely achieved through a RDBMS, users should have references to/from content that refers or mentions a topic or quotes related content in other books. (Similar to Wikipedia articles linking to one-another.) - Full text search This is probably where Lucene comes in. So which format/markup/standard would allow for software to easily fetch and cross-reference granular bits of data, as well as be easily indexable by Lucene? Would it maybe be better to store all the books' digital text straight into the RDBMS? In which case, can Lucene index such data?
