Of course, it's interesting to see, that booksellers and publishers are

But if You look on the ideas discussed
http://www.bisg.org/docs/Best_Practices_Document.pdf
You can see that booksellers are interested in a lot of data elements which
are not part of library cataloging rules (avaibility code, age rank of target
audience, BISAC subject, and so on) and are not so interested in the data
elements of library cataloging rules or have other principles in recording
these data.
And why should the publishers and booksellers be interested in creating
library data? You could also ask: why aren't libraries creating
publisher or bookseller data? It makes sense that each activity
(publishing, selling, providing in a library) would have their own
needs. At the same time, there is some information that they have in
common, and that is where we should focus in terms of sharing and
interoperability.
