Additional comments:
Our product, JacketCaster, is architected around the ONIX standard. It is an SaaS product which is designed to slice/dice/manipulate metadata and/or content for ease of distribution. We drive the Long Tail, and we have pushed some of our clients into Amazon's top ten publishers. We're focused on increasing book sales through extended sales reach, enriched metadata, and an efficient distribution flow.
