Extra: How would you describe the current state of available product information for book-related products?
Healy: … It’s tough to know how good or bad the overall state of data is. Some publishers have taken this message seriously. They’re investing time and people and resources to [generate] real high-quality data. But there is a surprising number—across the board—who still are failing in very, very basic ways …. Our industry, as a whole, has a long way to go. What we’re trying to do with our [Product Metadata Best Practices, BISG’s set of voluntary guidelines] is to gently edge the industry up a notch in respect to product data by providing a service that’s absolutely necessary.
