Hope this is in the right thread - it relates to management insofar as correctly identifying metadata.
Anyway...
Sometimes multiple publishers and locations are listed in sequence in a book. For example:
Quote:
PENGUIN CLASSICS
Published by the Penguin Group
Penguin Books Ltd, 80 Strand, London WC2R 0RL, England
Penguin Group (USA) Inc., 375 Hudson Street, New York, New York 10014, USA
Penguin Group (Canada), 90 Eglinton Avenue East, Suite 700, Toronto, Ontario, Canada M4P 2Y3 (a division of Pearson Penguin Canada Inc.)
Penguin Books Ltd, Registered Offices: 80 Strand, London WC2R 0RL, England
www.penguin.com
First published in Great Britain by William Heinemann Ltd 1968
Published in Penguin Classics 2011

Is it correct to assume that the first listed is the correct publisher of the current book, in this case, "Penguin Books Ltd"?
Or is it more appropriate to attribute it to "Penguin Group" or even "Penguin Classics"?
