Metadata for a book
It is necessary to describe a book by a set of metadata which allows its bibliographic identification.
Warning: data corresponding to the commercial distribution of the digital format are not entered in Lodel interface. They depend on the bibliographic record integrated in the OpenEdition Freemium publisher area.
