RE: draft agenda, DPUB IG concall 20140602 15UTC

Hi,

In preparation of our discussion about the document on metadata survey, I can’t help forwarding well known documents that prove the benefit of metadata for discovery and sales.
It’s because I am so surprised by the overall reaction of publishers in this survey about the relation between metadata and sales, well summarized in the first phrase :
“Metadata, data about data, has been a conversation piece in the publishing industry for years now  but proving its usefulness to the businesses has remained elusive”

You can find useful information in a recent post at http://www.digitalpubbing.com/understanding-metadata-2/ and there a link to past years studies from Nielsen sauch as http://www.isbn.nielsenbook.co.uk/uploads/3971_Nielsen_Metadata_white_paper_A4(3).pdf

Best,
Luc

[2] Proposed renaming of the task forces to better align them with desired goals and outcomes (background and discussion on call):

Layout and Styling -> Aesthetics/Ergonomy: Layout and styling has the goal of improving the aesthetics of the visual presentation of the material. But in addition, much of what publishers consider as aesthetics (like widow control) is rooted in ergonomic issues, ie, to make the reading experience as easy as possible.

Metadata -> Discovery: Encouraging more professionally-published content (starting with books) to be on the open web, even at the metadata level, is an important hedge against a monoculture, and a critical way for publishers to stay relevant.

Content & Markup -> Semantics: This is a loaded term; alternatives would be welcome.

Annotation -> No change

Accessibility -> No change

STEM -> Discussion welcome as this was re-started recently.
