In this episode, we focus on one piece of basic metadata for books— title. We take a look at how a single piece of metadata, book title, could be structured differently with three different vocabularies—ONIX, schema.org, and EPUB, and how you can make use of that structure to describe your books better. When you dive into each specific type of metadata or semantic markup languages, you’ll find the heads-up in this episode very helpful.
