As a publisher, distributor, or seller seeking to list products on IBS.it, understanding the platform's comprehensive media taxonomy is essential for reaching Italian readers, music enthusiasts, and entertainment consumers who rely on IBS for discovery and purchase of cultural products.

The IBS marketplace serves a sophisticated customer base of Italian book lovers, music collectors, and media enthusiasts.

Publishers and sellers must navigate this detailed structure to ensure products appear in appropriate browse paths and search results that connect them with their target Italian audience.

Product categorization on IBS follows Italian publishing and media industry conventions while incorporating international classification standards like BISAC for books. The platform organizes libri (books) into detailed subject hierarchies from Narrativa (Fiction) and Saggistica (Non-fiction) through specialized categories like Bambini (Children's), Fumetti (Comics), and Libri Universitari (Academic). Music, Film, and Videogiochi (Games) follow similar genre-based organization with format considerations for physical and digital media.

Our AI-powered categorization system has been specifically trained on Italian publishing taxonomy and media classification patterns. The machine learning models understand Italian genre terminology, recognize author and artist information, and can accurately place products within IBS's carefully structured category hierarchy.
