Information Media Partners
Michael Cairns established Information Media Partners in 2006 as a boutique strategy
consulting firm focused on the information and education publishing segment. The work
conducted by the firm includes product development, corporate development, sales
management and corporate reorganizations. We work with established businesses, private
equity owners and potential acquirers.
Examples of our work include:
 Reorganized and re-focused a $25 million software publishing company by aligning
business operations with client priorities; implementing internal collaboration tools and
project management standards; re-building executive team to focus on effective and
efficient management
 Defined a new business strategy for a large non-profit association and advocacy group,
expanding their business model into global markets to exploit their core knowledge and
expertise across a broader market
 Led an information technology capabilities review at a large international advertising
holding company. Completed over 200 interviews in 15 international offices and multiple
group focus sessions to define the operational ‘gaps’ between existing agency capabilities
and those necessary and important for client delivery by region
 Completed a sales management effectiveness review for a global software company and
defined six key project initiatives to improve sales effectiveness, market development and
account management
We approach our client engagements in a standardized, logical manner which creates the best
environment to identify key business drivers, administrative and logistical road blocks and/or
product or market definition issues. Our investigative approach leads to better insights into
your businesses and supports the development of workable solutions and recommendations
for success.

Sample Client List
Historical Perspective
 ISBN
 Bowker
 ONIX
 Google book project
 BISG – eBook study
 BISG Uses of metadata study
4
M is the new P
 “Place” is no longer physical
 Web page
 Mobile device
 Email/Pushed
 “Product” increasingly
 Unique
 Individual
 Virtuan/Linked
 Only ‘physical’ when delivered
 Promotion
 Depends on finding ‘real-time’ information: “I’ll look it up online”
 Price
 Presumption of change rather than static
5
Findings from eBook Metadata Study (2010)
 “Bad Practice” structurally embedded
 Enablers at all levels
 Definitions and nomenclature inconsistently applied
 Messaging and communication unclear
 Business case unclear
 Definition of product unclear
 ISBN relevance challenged
 Library market is problematic
 Bibliographic metadata substandard
 Solution(s) not obvious
6
Bad Practice is Embedded
 No ISBN at all
 Print ISBNs assigned to eBook versions
 One ISBN assigned for all eBook file formats
 Unique ISBNs assigned to individual (production) file
formats
 Unique ISBNs assigned to platform specific versions
 Proprietary (non-publisher) ISBNs assigned to
eBooks
 Proprietary (non-ISBNs) identifier assigned to
eBooks
 EANs assigned to e-Book content
 “Made-up” numbers
7
Bibliographic Metadata substandard
 Larger ‘trade houses’ print metadata OK
 eBook metadata consistently poor: Complete,
Consistent, Current – fails on all counts
 Separate e-and p-metadata processes
 Synchronization
 “Data rot”
 Outsourced e-Book metadata
 ONIX 3.0 partial answer, but roll-out is slow
 Mechanics of ‘managing data’ substandard
 Update process
 Add/changes/deletes
 “Four days to process a file”
 Work ID
8
Use of Metadata: High-Level findings (2012)
 Publisher concerns with modified, added data:
risk of bad data
 Recipients report continued weakness in
supplied metadata
 Separate feeds for physical and digital products
 As a standard, ONIX is significantly forked
 Metadata is added to improve discovery and
purchase
 In the U.S., ONIX 3.0 is off to a slow start
9
Use of Metadata: Process opportunities (2012)
 Compare metadata to the actual product
 Create stronger feedback loops
 Confirm shared metadata definitions
 Articulate what happens with updates
 Improve transparency on alterations and
modifications
10
Use of Metadata: “Future-proof” metadata (2012)
 Automate data workflows
 Prepare for more frequent updates (especially
price)
 Harmonize metadata workflows for print and
digital products
 Discontinue use of style tags
 Engage new supply chain entrants
11
Market Observations
 Disaggregating content: Articles, chapters,
cases, etc.
 Limited xml content
 Combination of pdf formats
 Metadata generally high level
 Very few publishers with chapter level metadata
 Abstracts, Key words, bios, synopsis, etc.
 Best seller information
12
Anticipating the challenge of changes in education
 Managing the cost of education & materials
 Faculty and educators demand more choice
 Seeking intuitive and flexible content creation
processes
 Expect to share content and collaborate across
‘networks’
 Migration to electronic delivery of content
 Growth of open access and ‘free’ content
 Growing expectation for highly customizable
solutions for publishers and institutions.

  • 5. M is the new P  “Place” is no longer physical  Web page  Mobile device  Email/Pushed  “Product” increasingly  Unique  Individual  Virtuan/Linked  Only ‘physical’ when delivered  Promotion  Depends on finding ‘real-time’ information: “I’ll look it up online”  Price  Presumption of change rather than static 5
  • 6. Findings from eBook Metadata Study (2010)  “Bad Practice” structurally embedded  Enablers at all levels  Definitions and nomenclature inconsistently applied  Messaging and communication unclear  Business case unclear  Definition of product unclear  ISBN relevance challenged  Library market is problematic  Bibliographic metadata substandard  Solution(s) not obvious 6
  • 7. Bad Practice is Embedded  No ISBN at all  Print ISBNs assigned to eBook versions  One ISBN assigned for all eBook file formats  Unique ISBNs assigned to individual (production) file formats  Unique ISBNs assigned to platform specific versions  Proprietary (non-publisher) ISBNs assigned to eBooks  Proprietary (non-ISBNs) identifier assigned to eBooks  EANs assigned to e-Book content  “Made-up” numbers 7

Use of Metadata: High-Level findings (2012)  Publisher concerns with modified, added data: risk of bad data  Recipients report continued weakness in supplied metadata  Separate feeds for physical and digital products  As a standard, ONIX is significantly forked  Metadata is added to improve discovery and purchase  In the U.S., ONIX 3.0 is off to a slow start 9
  • 10. Use of Metadata: Process opportunities (2012)  Compare metadata to the actual product  Create stronger feedback loops  Confirm shared metadata definitions  Articulate what happens with updates  Improve transparency on alterations and modifications 10
  • 11. Use of Metadata: “Future-proof” metadata (2012)  Automate data workflows  Prepare for more frequent updates (especially price)  Harmonize metadata workflows for print and digital products  Discontinue use of style tags  Engage new supply chain entrants 11
  • 12. Market Observations  Disaggregating content: Articles, chapters, cases, etc.  Limited xml content  Combination of pdf formats  Metadata generally high level  Very few publishers with chapter level metadata  Abstracts, Key words, bios, synopsis, etc.  Best seller information 12
  • 13. Anticipating the challenge of changes in education  Managing the cost of education & materials  Faculty and educators demand more choice  Seeking intuitive and flexible content creation processes  Expect to share content and collaborate across ‘networks’  Migration to electronic delivery of content  Growth of open access and ‘free’ content  Growing expectation for highly customizable solutions for publishers and institutions. 13
