Identifiers: Eliminating Ambiguity
When content is released "into the wild" of the web, it's critical to be able to identify things that may have seemed perfectly clear within the publisher's walled garden but are ambiguous outside it. The web has URIs (Universal Resource Identifiers, of which the familiar URLs are a subset) that make it possible to identify and link things on the web, but publishers use many other identifiers in the context of producing and selling their books. Those identifiers are a specialized form of metadata (and the identifiers themselves are often associated with specific metadata that describes what they identify).
