BISG releases report on book and ebook metadata
Assesses and provides recommendations for best practices
By
Brian Howard
A key component of the Best Practices document is the identification of 31 core metadata elements – price, publication date, ISBN, etc. – that should be included or acknowledged in every metadata feed. The new report identifies an additional 39 data elements, largely in the area of marketing, that have become increasingly important to both data senders and receivers. Included in that list are Related Editions (Work ID); Worldwide Subject Categories; Keywords; and Awards and Prizes.
