Metadata & discoverability

- Abstract

That is where this bachelor thesis can fill a gap, and hopefully spread some light on the subjects of discoverability and metadata in the book business.

The results of the study show that the interest in metadata and discoverability differs a lot between the players in Sweden. Many publicists have no knowledge about these issues and are not curious to find out more either, while others are driven by their will to experiment and try new things.
The thesis also explains the difference between metadata and enhanced metadata, as well as defining discoverability, and gives examples on creative ways to work with it. It also makes clear that some of the most important things to consider are to make sure you have got the basic metadata correct before enhancing it, and to dare to try new things when it comes to discoverability.
