Can this information be represented in EPUB format, with the possibility of automatic search and catalogization? My opinion is <strong>no</strong>.

My opinion is yes.
There are four authors.
There is one cover illustrator, tagged by a custom opf namespace because the Dublin Core committee are dinosaurs. Note that any other format would also have to follow the Dublin Core.
There is one illustrator, with the same rules as the cover illustrator.
It has one translator, with the same rules as the illustrators.
It is literally that simple. And all you have to do is complain to the Dublin Core committee.
