New Downloadable Resource: The Essential Guide to Metadata for Books The ability to describe products completely and accurately and to efficiently share that data with trading partners and consumers is essential for e-commerce in every industry. In this respect, book metadata is unexceptional. But every product and every industry has unique aspects that product metadata attempts to reflect. This e-book provides an overview of information found in The Metadata Handbook. It provides you with a basic introduction to metadata concepts, standards, and best practices within the publishing industry.

Format: PDF Download Price: $19.99 BUY NOW Why metadata is important: Metadata that is thoughtfully created and shared using industry standards and best practices supports all aspects of publishing and bookselling. And when creating, controlling, and monitoring book metadata is fully integrated into each publication stage, the result is a powerful asset for effective selling across traditional and evolving sales channels as well as for the collection and analysis of sales results and market trends. For digital books, metadata takes the place of all the physical organization, display, and browsing opportunities possible in bricks-and-mortar stores. For readers who prefer to buy almost all their books online, this is true for physical books as well. Selling options have expanded from the traditional wholesalers and retailers to include sellers specializing in ebooks and easier options for selling directly from author or publisher websites. To maximize discovery and sales potential, metadata should be complete, correctly formatted, and consistent across all sales channels.
