bibliographic metadata

Bibliographic metadata is information about a book, article, or other publication that helps identify and locate it. It typically includes details like the title, author, publication date, publisher, ISBN, and subject keywords. This data is used by libraries, bookstores, and online systems to organize, find, and cite materials efficiently. Essentially, bibliographic metadata acts as a detailed "label" that makes it easier to search for and manage various publications within collections or databases.
