ONIXA presentation by Janet Leu for LIS 882.
What is ONIX? ONIX stands for ONline Information EXchange There are over 200 data elements ONIX is a metadata standard that publishers use to distribute
electronic information about their books, and all other materials publishers produce
This electronic information is distributed to wholesalers, brick and mortar stores, online retailers, and anyone else involved in the sale or distribution of books
Book information can be communicated between different organizations with different technical infrastructures
ONIX is not a database, but uses XML to organize data storage
Why use ONIX? ONIX provides richer book data online (hence the name) There are widely varying format requirements for receiving
this data that are used within the book industry ONIX provides electronic information about the jacket cover
of a physical book (cover design, author biography, reviews, synopsis, etc.), plus related audio and video files.
The more information customers have about a book, the more likely they are to purchase it
What does ONIX tell us about a book? Title Author ISBN Price Availability Blurbs, reviews, excerpts BISAC subject codes Rights (territorial and copyright) Licensing Links to website and book cover images Code numbers that further describe a product, but won’t spell anything out. These
code numbers are distinct to ONIX (the code lists)
The history of ONIX
In 1999, the Association of American Publishers (AAP) collaborated with major wholesalers, online retailers, and book information service providers to develop ONIX
The goal was to create universal, international format where publishers of all sizes could exchange information about their books
ONIX for Books 1.0 was published in January 2000
ONIX for Books 2.1, revision 02, was published in 2004, with some minor revisions to documentation in February 2005
The most current version of ONIX for Books is 3.0, which was released in 2009
ONIX for Books 3.0 handles digital products better than its predecessors
The most recent ONIX Code List is Issue 16, which was released in January 2012
In addition to books, there is also ONIX for Serials and ONIX for Licensing Terms (rights and usages)
In the future, it is very possible that ONIX will also be used to exchange electronic information about motion pictures and sound recordings

How ONIX for Books works Two standards – Level 1 or Level 2
Level 1 is targeted to publishers who have not established an in-house database of product information
Level 2 is targeted to publishers who feel that Level 1 data elements are not adequate
ONIX defines a list of data fields about a book and how to send that data in an “ONIX message”
Most data elements in ONIX consist of text, but others are multimedia, such as images and audio files
An ONIX message consists of a set of data elements defined by tags and is written in XML.
An ONIX message also conforms to a specific template, or set of rules, also known as ONIX DTD.
ONIX DTD defines how to order the data elements, and how the elements are interrelated.
HOW ONIX WORKS
An ONIX message is transmitted across
the Internet the other data is, as an e-
mail attachment or by FTP.
Once an ONIX message is received, an
XML software application and the ONIX
DTD verify the data’s integrity. After
that, the receiver translates the data
into what someone sees on a webpage
(how much someone sees is strictly up
to the retailer.)
ONIX schema definitions
3 schema options are available for ONIX 3.0
The recommended options are the ISO standard RelaxNG (RNG) schema language, or the W3C (XSD) schema language
These two schemas allow the most effective validity checking
A DTD option is also available
All 3 of these schema options support both reference names and short tags for ONIX data elements

Publisher’s descriptions in ONIX <Main Description>
<DescriptiveDetail>As a member of the seminal punk band Black Flag, Henry Rollins kept detailed tour diaries that form the basis of Get in the Van. Rollins's observations range from the wry to the raucous in this blistering account of a six-year career with the band - a time marked by crazed fans, vicious cops, near-starvation, substance abuse, and mind numbing all-night drives. Rollins decided to revise this edition by adding a wealth of new photographs, a new foreword, and an afterword to include some "where-are-they-now" information on the people featured in the book. This new edition includes 40 previously unpublished black-and-white photographs from Rollins's private collection and show flyers by artist Raymond Pettibon. Called "a soul-frying experience not to be undertaken by lightweights" by Wired magazine, Get in the Van perfectly embodies what one critic called the "secular gospel" of one of punk and post-punk's most respected and controversial figures.
