Richard Stark,
Manager, Content & Category Development, Barnes & Noble
Biography | Presentation (880 KB)
This
fall, BISG will launch the first ever Product Data Certification
Program for
the
U.S. book
industry.
Many publishers and booksellers have long
understood
that good product information sells books and that the
availability
of
comprehensive, accurate and timely product information is
critical to the
successful
operation of the modern book supply chain.
How will BISG’s new
program
for data certification work…and what will be its benefits to
you?

Realizing
GDSN in the U.S. Book Supply Chain
Ian
Singer, Vice President of Data Services, Bowker
Biography | Presentation (974 KB)
While
many industries have been participating in GDSN (Global Data
Synchronization
Network) for some time and seeing the benefits of continuous
data
synchronization between trading partners, the book industry has
been
slow
to adopt it. This may be about to change. In this presentation,
Ian Singer
from
Bowker will profile a new GDSN Pilot Program and address the
potential
benefits
for the U.S. book industry.
