Provide a way for the user to enter information about the book they are digitizing:

Copyright / publication date
User defined notes
Undefined functionality
There was a discussion to support a subset of Dublin Core metadata, but there are no specifics at this moment.
It is conceivable that the Notes area can be used to extend metadata by supporting special syntax for custom key-value pairs.

Interaction Notes
The metadata editor is pre-populated with the values specified during the creation of the book project in the Dashboard (see Decapod Dashboard for more information).
This Metadata Editor may also contain fields that are not available during the book creation process in the Dashboard.
The metadata editor dialog is modal.
Error checking is performed on the date field to ensure proper formatting.
Book title is the only required field, since the other values may not be available (for really old, rare, or damaged works).
