2. About OCLC • OCLC is a global library cooperative and a leader in the creation of quality metadata. • For more than 40 years, and with the participation of more than 71,000 libraries in 112 countries and territories, we have built the WorldCat database—the largest database of bibliographic information in the world

3. WorldCat

4. WorldCat.org

5. Why is OCLC launching this service? Why now? How does the service work? How does the service benefit publishers? What’s the service model? Who are the stakeholders? What’s next? How do I get more information? For Discussion Today

6. Why OCLC? • Coverage, depth and richness of WorldCat allow scale for data mining • Benefits multiple communities and supports OCLC’s mission: • Connecting people to knowledge through library cooperation • Fits with OCLC strategies for services at the network level • OCLC infrastructure supports ingest, maintenance and delivery of large volumes of metadata

7. Why is OCLC investing is this service now? • Current ways of creating, sharing and maintaining metadata have large gaps in the chain • These gaps increase cost and create redundancies across communities • Current methods are simply unsustainable -- both for libraries and the publisher supply chain

9. How does the new service work? • Breaks down silos between publisher and library metadata • Mines WorldCat metadata to enrich publisher metadata • Adds publisher metadata to WorldCat, increasing web discovery of titles

10. How does the new service work? • Uses crosswalks and mapping between formats and terminologies • Resulting in data mining and mash-up of library and publisher metadata

11. Benefits to the Publisher Supply Chain • Reduces costin bibliographic description, categorization and authority work • Provides better marketing datato support buying decisions: for wholesalers, retailers, libraries, end users • Supports marketing, sales and business intelligenceneeds for multiple markets

12. Benefits to the Publisher Supply Chain • Creates efficienciesin metadata exchange, normalization and enrichment • Delivers ONIX metadata for immediate supply chain use,including application of BISAC Subjects • Adds metadata to WorldCat for immediate usein library selection and acquisitions; provides web visibility via WorldCat.org • Re-uses and re-purposesexisting metadata in support of multiple supply chain and library processes
