Abstract
High quality and accurate bibliographic metadata is an essential part of the supply chain for books and e-books as it enables titles to be easily and reliably identified, selected, and accessed. Yet libraries and content providers have worked for years to find common ground across stakeholder groups regarding metadata requirements.
This breakout session will describe two new efforts to reach consensus: Metadata Profiles from the NAG Quality of Shelf Ready Metadata Project, and the NISO Recommended Practice on, E-Book Bibliographic Metadata Requirements.
Both projects demonstrate the importance of developing a shared understanding between publishers, vendors and libraries regarding the creation and sharing of quality metadata so that it has value throughout the supply chain.
