"Boekenbank" is a platform with complete focus on processing and offering data.
It retrieves data on books, e-books and related products from the "Centrale Boekenhuis", among others, through automated processes. In doing so, members of the platform can upload, for example, CSV, Excel, ONIX3 XML via the web interface. Images and reading excerpts can also be loaded via data linkage or the UI (User Interface), or even automatically retrieved from external servers.
"Boekenbank" takes care of the processing and validation of these files according to its own internal business rules and industry standards in order to guarantee data quality. Reports of this internal processing are of course generated and made available to members.
This processed data, which therefore consists of the pure metadata of the books (such as title, author(s), theme, etc.), but also images and reading extracts, is again offered to customers such as Standaard Boekhandel to enable searches on a website, to enrich own data, etc.
