Introduction

This Product Information Format Specification (the Specification) replaces, for ONIX for Books Release 3.0, the separate documents which in previous ONIX releases were given the titles Product Record Format, XML Message Specification and Overview and Data Elements. The change of title reflects the fact that the single Specification document now includes sections describing the top-level XML message structure and the message header as well as the product record itself. This Specification also includes a complete sample message, an overview of the XML data elements and complete lists of XML tags.

Other documentation for Release 3.0 comprises an Introduction to ONIX for Books 3.0, the ONIX for Books Codelists (Issue 12 or later), the ONIX for Books Implementation and Best Practice Guide (the Guide), together with a small number of How to… guides on particular aspects of ONIX 3.0 usage, with detailed examples. There is a separate specification for an Acknowledgement message which may be sent in response to an ONIX Product Information message, and which may form part of a message ‘choreography’ between data sender and recipient.

Although this issue of the Specification is complete in terms of its coverage of the structure and data elements in ONIX 3.0, it may be subject to further revision, not only to correct any errors that are found during the early stages of implementation, but also to add material that may make it easier to use. The codelists – which form an important part of the standard – are also regularly updated. Any revisions will be notified through the ONIX for Books implementation listserv. If you are not already a member, you may wish to sign up through the EDItEUR website.

The Specification includes a number of corrections and additions made after the initial release of ONIX 3.0 documentation, following early proof-of-concept implementation – please note especially the list of corrections below dated 29 October 2010 and earlier. In particular, attention is drawn to the new <ROWSalesRightsType> element which is intended to reduce the variations in interpretation regarding product sales rights information from different ONIX data suppliers. Any ONIX 3 implementations developed prior to this date will likely need updating to incorporate this element. There are also important clarifications in the repeatability of <SupplyDetail> and <Supplier>.

If you believe that you have found an error, or you have a question about this document, please contact EDItEUR either through the listserv or by e-mail to info@editeur.org.

Introduction to Release 3.0 revision 1 (3.0.1)

This revision includes a number of changes which form version 3.0.1 of the Specification. These include additions to ensure ONIX 3.0 is suitable for use with East Asian writing systems and multi-language supply chains, a handful of other additions, and some deprecations intended to simplify implementation.

Please note the list of changes dated 27 Jan 2012 in the Document history below. New data elements and composites are marked ‘New in 3.0.1’ in the main body of the specification and with a dagger symbol (†) in the Data element summary. Use of data elements introduced in version 3.0.1 may require Codelists Issue 16 or later.

Introduction to Release 3.0 revision 2 (3.0.2)

This revision includes a number of new data elements which form version 3.0.2 of the Specification. These include additional elements for specifying more detailed physical stock information, new price identifiers, and additional information about licensing of digital products and locations associated with contributors. New data elements and composites are marked ‘New in 3.0.2’ in the main body of the specification, with a double dagger symbol (‡) in the Data element summary, and the changes are dated 24 Jan 2014 in the Document history below. Use of data elements introduced in version 3.0.2 may require Codelists Issue 24 or later.

There is also a new preferred method for specifying sales restrictions acting within a specific territory, and the original method is deprecated. This and other changes are covered in the associated Guide.

Introduction to Release 3.0 revision 3 (3.0.3)

This revision includes a number of new data elements and other improvements which form version 3.0.3 of the Specification. These include inter alia a new <PriceConstraint> composite for specifying various commercial terms and conditions associated with a price, new elements for minimum order quantities, star ratings for reviews and a new <Gender> element. The <Conference> composite is renamed as <Event> and broadened in scope. Collateral material in Block 2 can be targeted at particular territories, and treatment of unnamed contributors and unpriced items is improved. New data elements and composites are marked ‘New in 3.0.3’ in the main body of the specification, with a section symbol (§) in the Data element summary, and the changes are dated 25 Apr 2016 in the Document history below. Use of data elements introduced in version 3.0.3 may require Codelists Issue 33 or later.

Introduction to Release 3.0 revision 4 (3.0.4)

This revision includes additional elements and composites and other changes which comprise version 3.0.4 of the Specification. Among these improvements are a new <SupplyContact> composite within <SupplyDetail> to specify ordering, customer care, or returns authorization contacts at the supplier, an <EpubLicense> composite within <Price> for products where price constraints are in use, and additional <PricePartDescription> within <Tax> for products that have price components with varying tax rates. A key limitation on the use of <NameAsSubject> for real people or organizations is relaxed. Newly-added data elements and composites are marked ‘New in 3.0.4’ in the main body of the specification, and with a Delta symbol (Δ) in the Data element summary. Changes are dated 26 Oct 2017 in the Document history below. Use of data elements introduced in version 3.0.4 may require Codelists Issue 39 or later.

Introduction to Release 3.0 revision 5 (3.0.5)

This minor revision includes only one substantive addition – the <AVItem> composite in Block 3 – and a very small number of other minor additions. AV Item enables Block 3 to be used for detailed tables of contents for time-based media products such as audiobooks, and specifically allows timecodes for chapter starts to be included. The newly-added data elements and composites are marked ‘New in 3.0.5’ in the main body of the specification, and with a Phi symbol (Φ) in the Data element summary. Changes are dated 26 Oct 2018 in the Document history below. Use of data elements introduced in version 3.0.5 may require Codelists Issue 43 or later.

Introduction to Release 3.0 revision 6 (3.0.6)

This revision includes only two minor updates – the addition of <Measure> within <ProductPart> and a change to the cardinality and attributes of <WebsiteLink>. The newly-added data elements and composites are marked ‘New in 3.0.6’ in the main body of the specification, and with an Psi symbol (Ψ) in the Data element summary. Changes are dated 26 Apr 2019 in the Document history below.

Introduction to Release 3.0 revision 7 (3.0.7)

This significant revision introduces a new Block 7 – Promotional event detail – into ONIX 3.0, as well as a small number of minor updates. This is intended to enable a Product record to carry details of events such as author reading and signing tours or festival appearances promoting sales of the book. Widespread use would raise the profile of such events, and event aggregation services could notify subscribers of events in their locality.

Note that the numbering of Block 7 and its constituent Group P.27 do not follow the message order because of the block’s position between the existing Blocks 2 and 3. The newly-added block, its data elements and composites are marked ‘New in 3.0.7’ in the main body of the specification, and with a Sigma symbol (Σ) in the Data element summary. Changes are dated 31 Oct 2019 in the Document history below. Use of data elements introduced in version 3.0.7 may require Codelists Issue 47 or later.

Introduction to Release 3.0 revision 8 (3.0.8)

This revision of the ONIX 3.0 standard introduces a new Block 8 – Production detail – which is intended to allow communication of detailed specifications and source file manifests between a publisher and a technical services provider. These details can include all the information needed by the services provider to create the product itself from the components supplied – for example details of the source files, specifications for on-demand printing, transcoding and packaging parameters for audiobooks and conversion requirements for e-books. As such, Block 8 is not intended for general use right across the supply chain, and should be ignored by recipients not providing such services. However, it is intended to eliminate the need for so-called ‘sidecar files’, additional product specifications and manifests that hitherto were exchanged in parallel with ONIX data.

In message order, Block 8 and its constituent Group P.28 are positioned between the existing Blocks 5 and 6. The newly-added block, its data elements and composites are marked ‘New in 3.0.8’ in the main body of the specification, and with a Xi symbol (Ξ) in the Data element summary. Changes are dated 29 June 2021 in the Document history below. Use of data elements introduced in version 3.0.8 may require Codelists Issue 53a or later.

New <ROWSalesRightsType> element has been inserted in P.21.10, the example of the use of <SalesRights> composite corrected (to incorporate both the <ROWSalesRightsType> element and the <Territory> composite), and the remainder of elements in P.21 renumbered. Reference to the <ROWSalesRightsType> element has been added in the introductory text to P.21.
Description of cardinality of <SupplyDetail> and <Supplier> has been changed, so the former is repeatable and the latter non-repeatable.
Added new <CorporateNameInverted> element at P.7.20. Note this new element may also be used within the <AlternativeName> and <NameAsSubject> composites. Remainder of P.7 elements renumbered, revised P.7 introductory text. Renumbering of P.7 affects numbering of several other parts of the document.
Modified <DateFormat> and <Date> elements within various composites carrying dates at P.7.36, P.14.8, P.15.10, P.16.13, P.20.4, P.25.14, P.26.19, P.26.75, to incorporate reference to the dateformat attribute, and to deprecate <DateFormat>. Also modified <ConferenceDate>, <CopyrightYear>, <StartDate>, <EndDate>, <ExpectedDate> and <ReissueDate> to use the dateformat attribute. The attribute may take a range of values from List 55.
Made <NameType> optional within <NameAsSubject>.
Added ability to carry <ProductForm> and <ProductFormDetail> codes at P.23.5 and P.23.6 within <RelatedProduct>. Note that these elements should not normally be included in a <RelatedProduct> composite, but may optionally be included if required by a specific recipient.
Made P.23.1 <ProductRelationCode> repeatable within a single <RelatedProduct> composite, where the related product has multiple types of relationship to the product described in the ONIX record.

Added new optional element <MarketPublishingStatusNote> in P.25, renumbered remaining elements within P.25.
Made the <MarketDate> composite optional within P.25. Changed <MarketDateRole> to use codelist 163 (same list as ‘global’ <PublishingDateRole>).
Added new <PriceCoded> composite to support prices expressed as discrete price points, bands or tiers rather than as currency amounts. A new Code list 179 is introduced for use with <PriceCodeType>. <PriceAmount> becomes optional. Renumbered remainder of P.26.
Deprecated use of <CurrencyZone> data element.
Added new <ComparisonProductPrice> composite to support notification of prices of comparable products. Note that this composite should not normally be included in a <Price> composite, but may optionally be included if required by a specific recipient. Renumbered remainder of P.26.
Removed references that suggest <RecordReference> should necessarily be a number, and increased the suggested maximum data size for this element.
Clarified that a contributor’s primary name is the name used on the product, and any alternative name merely provides additional information (eg if the book is written under a pseudonym, where the real identity of the author is well-known, the primary contributor name should be the pseudonym and the real name of the contributor may be provided as an alternative name).
In P.12.6, <SubjectHeadingText>, increased the suggested maximum data length from 100 to 250 characters, to account for the possibility of supplying long semicolon-separated lists of keywords (ie where <SubjectSchemeIdentifier> is 20).
Clarified that XHTML is enabled in the <SalesRestrictionNote> element P.24.10.
Deprecated the <Complexity> composite in favor of incorporating Lexile measures in the <Audience> composite. No other schemes had been identified for use within <Complexity>.
Minor correction to example of simple <Header> composite.
Corrected error in description of the <RegionsExcluded> element in P21.5: it may only occur if <CountriesIncluded> is present.
25 Nov 2010
Corrected <x408> to <x406> in <MarketPublishingStatusNote>.
Corrected format note for <PriceCode> to refer to <PriceCodeType>.
6 Jan 2011
HTML format with enhanced content.
Note this is draft HTML5, and does not display correctly in all browsers. Added notes on Copyright page indicating browser compatibility, and the need for Unicode font support.
Added navigation behavior so that a click on any heading links to the parent section, and multiple clicks eventually return to the Table of Contents. Shift-click returns immediately to the Table of Contents, and on most headings, alt-click switches to the equivalent heading in the related Implementation and Best Practice Guide.
Added note on requirement to contact EDItEUR before translation or other localization.
Added explicit cardinality statements and valid attributes in descriptions of composites and data elements. These were previously only available in the ONIX for Book: Product Information Format Data Element Summary.
Added element tags to examples. The choice of reference name or short tag on any particular example is not meaningful – they are interchangeable, excepting that they cannot be mixed within any one ONIX message. Some element examples illustrate the use of appropriate attributes.
Added explicit links to codelists. Codelist HTML documents must be in ‘codelist’ folder in the same location as this document.
Added examples illustrating use of <ProductIdentifier>, <Barcode>, <ProductFormFeature>, <EpubTechnicalProtection>, <ProductClassification, <NameIdentifier>, <Website>, <Language>, <AncillaryContent>, <Subject>, <NameAsSubject>, <Audience>, <Prize>, <SupportingResource>, <CitedContent>, <Imprint>, <Publisher>, <SalesRestriction>, <RelatedWork>, <RelatedProduct>, <DiscountCoded>, <PriceCoded> composites; extended existing examples using <Header>, <ProductPart>, <TitleDetail>, <Contributor>, <Extent>, <SalesRights>, <Price> composites.
Added diagrams illustrating inclusion/exclusion of Countries, Regions within <SalesRights>, sequencing of <PublishingStatus> and <ProductAvailability> codes. Note these diagrams use embedded SVG, and will show only in very modern browsers.
Spectacles If no ‘spectacles’ icon is visible here, the diagrams will not display.
Incorporated restructured and partly rewritten content from ONIX for Books: Product Information Format XML Technical Notes document to form Section 1.
Incorporated some content from ONIX for Books: Product Information Format Data Element Summary to form Part 1 of Section 5 Appendix.

Corrected two references to <ReligiousTextID> to <ReligiousTextIdentifier>.
13 July 2011
Corrected allowed formats for datestamp attribute and <SentDateTime> element.
Corrected cardinality for <Percent> element.

Clarification that <EpubUsageConstraint> can be used even if product does not enforce constraints through technical protection.
Added note about use of a BOM in UTF-16.
15 Oct 2011

ONIX for Books message

High-level structure and conformance

ONIX for Books is a standard data format based on XML, used primarily to convey information about book and book-related products between computer systems.

An ONIX for Books Product Information Message can be regarded as having four component parts: the start of message, whose format and content is dictated by the XML standard; a message header block; the body of the message describing a number of products; and the end of message.

The start and the end of message are described in Sections X.1 and X.2.

The message header carries a number of data elements, specifying the sender and date of message (mandatory), the addressee (optional), and optionally stating message default values for language, price type, and currency. For further details, see Section 3. ONIX for Books message header in this document.

The body of an ONIX for Books Product Information Message normally consists of one or more Product records, with no theoretical limit on the number of records. Each Product record consists of some identifiers for the record and for the product it describes, plus six blocks of information – each of which is optional, and one of which may be repeated if the product is available in several different markets. There are blocks dedicated to describing the product itself, to marketing collateral, to publishing details and territorial rights, etc.

The content and format of the Product record are detailed in Section 4. ONIX for Books Product record in this document.

Many data elements within an ONIX for Books Product Information Message take their content from code lists, controlled vocabularies, to ensure common understanding of the data where message creator and recipient need not be in direct contact, and where they may operate in quite different markets. These code lists also form an integral part of the specification of an ONIX for Books message. Code lists are revised from time to time to add new codes. Old codes are never deleted, though they may be deprecated. The earliest release of the code lists that may realistically be used with this Specification is Issue 12, but for many elements marked as ‘New in 3.0.1’, ‘New in 3.0.2’ etc a later issue is required:

  • for full use of elements and composites marked ‘New in 3.0.1’, Issue 16 or later may be required;
  • 3.0.2 may require Issue 24;
  • 3.0.3 may require Issue 33;
  • 3.0.4 may require Issue 39;
  • 3.0.5 or 6 may require Issue 43;
  • 3.0.7 may require Issue 47;
  • 3.0.8 may require Issue 53a or later.

An overriding requirement is that an ONIX for Books Product Information Message must conform to the XML standard, ie it must be well-formed XML. It is also a requirement that ONIX messages are valid according to the associated RNG and XSD schemas (which are equivalent, excepting that the XSD schemas implement a number of uniqueness constraints that are not implemented in the RNG schema).

Previous releases of the ONIX for Books Product Information Message were supported by formal definitions in two schema formats: DTD and XSD. From Release 3.0, EDItEUR is maintaining formal definitions in three schema formats: RNG, XSD and DTD. The RNG and XSD formats differ from the DTD format in that they make extensive use of formal specifications of the code lists, whereas the DTD format makes almost no use of the code lists. Validation using the DTD is not sufficient and not recommended, as data element code values cannot be validated by this method. Implementers are free to choose which of the ONIX for Books schemas to use in validating the ONIX messages that they create or receive, but if the DTD format is chosen, implementers will need to find other methods for checking that all code values are valid.

Each schema is available in two separate ‘flavors’ with differing but equivalent XML markup, and any message must choose one or other markup flavor – either Reference names or Short tags. The former means that message filesizes are larger, but messages are more easily human-readable. Flavors must not be mixed within any one message. Implementers may choose to implement either or both markup flavors, and best practice guidelines within any ONIX community may guide that choice. An XSLT script available from EDItEUR can be used to convert messages from one flavor to the other.

Finally there are both implicit and explicit business rules within the Specification. Many of these cannot be enforced through validation, though some can be checked using an enhanced or ‘strict’ XSD that EDItEUR also maintains.

All implementers are expected to check that all requirements of the ONIX for Books Product Record specification are met, irrespective of whether or not these requirements are formally specified and enforced by any of the schemas. In particular, the specification defines requirements such as presence or absence of certain XML elements based on data values elsewhere in the message. These ‘business rule’ requirements cannot be specified in RNG, ‘classic’ XSD or DTD schema languages. They may or may not be encoded and enforced in an advanced schema language (eg ‘strict’ XSD v1.1, Schematron) in the future.

Your attention is drawn to the terms and conditions of use which appear in the ONIX for Books schemas themselves, in the EDItEUR licence (DOI:10.4400/nwgj) and on the copyright page of this Specification.

The DTD format is defined by the XML Standard itself: W3C Recommendation Extensible Markup Language (XML) 1.0 (Fifth Edition) – see http://www.w3.org/TR/xml/ for more details.
The XML Schema Definition (XSD) format is defined by W3C Recommendation XML Schema Part 1: Structures (Second Edition) – see http://www.w3.org/TR/xmlschema-1 for more details.
The advanced XSD v1.1 format is defined by W3C Recommendation XML Schema Definition Language (XSD) 1.1 Part 1: Structures – see http://www.w3.org/TR/xmlschema11-1/.
The RELAX NG (RNG) format is defined by ISO/IEC 19757-2:2008, published by ISO, Geneva.
X.1 Start of message

The start of an ONIX for Books message must consist of, as a minimum, two lines of XML as shown:

using Reference names
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<ONIXMessage release="3.0">Upper case ‘M’
using Short tags
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<ONIXmessage release="3.0">Lower case ‘m’

The XML declaration line may additionally declare a character encoding. Further details of this are given in the Character sets and special characters section below.

The <ONIXMessage> line may additionally declare an XML namespace attribute. Further details of this are given in the Using Release 3.0 schemas for validation section below. Both character encoding declaration and namespace attribute are recommended.

For the purposes of validation of an ONIX message against one of the schemas it may be necessary to insert some additional information, to include an explicit reference to the schema against which to validate the message. The precise XML that needs to be inserted will depend upon the schema format and the tools being used for validation. Further details of this are also given in the Using Release 3.0 schemas for validation section below. For communication purposes it is recommended that all such schema references be omitted from the message, as the recipient will frequently need to use a different version of the schema and different tools for validation to those used by the originator.

X.2 End of message

The end of message ‘trailer’ must consist of a single line as shown:

using Reference names
</ONIXMessage>Upper case ‘M’
using Short tags
</ONIXmessage>Lower case ‘m’
X.3 Layout of a complete message

In summary, the layout of a typical ONIX for Books Product Information Message is like this:

using Reference names
<?xml version="1.0"?>Start of message
<ONIXMessage release="3.0">
<Header>Header
        <!-- message header data elements -->
</Header>
<Product>Body
        <!-- record reference for product 1 -->
        <!-- product identifiers for product 1 -->
        <!-- block 1 product description -->
        <!-- block 2 marketing collateral detail -->
        <!-- block 7 promotion detail -->
        <!-- block 3 content detail -->
        <!-- block 4 publishing detail -->
        <!-- block 5 related material -->
        <!-- block 8 production detail -->
        <!-- block 6 product supply -->
</Product>
<Product>
        <!-- record reference for product 2 -->
        <!-- product identifiers for product 2 -->
        <!-- data blocks for product 2 -->
</Product>
<!-- further product records… -->
<Product>
        <!-- record reference for product n -->
        <!-- product identifiers for product n -->
        <!-- data blocks for product n -->
</Product>
</ONIXMessage>End of message
using Short tags
<?xml version="1.0"?>Start of message
<ONIXmessage release="3.0">
<header>Header
        <!-- message header data elements -->
</header>
<product>Body
        <!-- record reference for product 1 -->
        <!-- product identifiers for product 1 -->
        <!-- block 1 product description -->
        <!-- block 2 marketing collateral detail -->
        <!-- block 7 promotion detail -->
        <!-- block 3 content detail -->
        <!-- block 4 publishing detail -->
        <!-- block 5 related material -->
        <!-- block 8 production detail -->
        <!-- block 6 product supply -->
</product>
<product>
        <!-- record reference for product 2 -->
        <!-- product identifiers for product 2 -->
        <!-- data blocks for product 2 -->
</product>
<!-- further product records… -->
<product>
        <!-- record reference for product n -->
        <!-- product identifiers for product n -->
        <!-- data blocks for product n -->
</product>
</ONIXmessage>End of message
Note the use of multiple Product records (from <Product> to </Product>). The number of Product records in a message may vary from one to many thousands, and a message with no Product records (but with a <NoProduct/> tag – see X.4 below) is also possible.
Note also that ONIX messages can contain XML comments, introduced with ‘<!--’ and terminated with ‘-->’. Comments may be helpful during development, when data may have to be checked ‘by eye’. However, they are of no significant benefit in production, as they should be ignored by automated XML processing systems.
X.4 Empty XML elements

There are a very few elements in the ONIX for Books format which are defined as empty elements in XML, and whose function is to act as ‘flags’ which may be either present or absent. These elements do not carry any data content. An example in ONIX 3.0 is the <MainSubject/> element, used to flag a <Subject> composite to show that it represents the primary subject of a product (within any one particular subject classification scheme).

All other elements are defined as carrying data content, and must not be sent as empty elements. If an element is mandatory, data content must be supplied, or the message will be invalid. If an element is optional, and there is no content for it, it must be omitted entirely. These rules are enforced in the RNG and XSD schemas, but cannot be enforced by the DTD.

An exceptional empty element is <NoProduct/>. The sole valid use of this is to denote an ‘empty message’ within a stream of updates sent on a prearranged timetable, providing a positive indication that there have been no changes since the previous update:

using Reference names
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<ONIXMessage release="3.0">
<Header>
        <!-- message header data elements -->
</Header>
<NoProduct/>
</ONIXMessage>
using Short tags
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<ONIXmessage release="3.0">
<header>
        <!-- message header data elements -->
</header>
<x507/>
</ONIXmessage>

Another exceptional group consists of the five ‘empty blocks’: <CollateralDetail/>, <PromotionDetail/>, <ContentDetail/>, <RelatedMaterial/> and <ProductionDetail/> may only be empty within a partial ‘block update’ (see P.1.2) where the intention is to ‘reset’ or delete any previously supplied collateral material, promotional event detail, content detail, links to related products and works, or production manifest detail. The other blocks <DescriptiveDetail>, <PublishingDetail> and <SupplyDetail> contain mandatory elements and cannot be empty in any circumstances – though the blocks can be omitted entirely within block updates.

Note that in all cases, the XML ‘self-closing’ syntax is recommended for all empty elements and blocks (ie <NoProduct/> rather than <NoProduct></NoProduct>).

Use of XML attributes

In all ONIX applications, a number of XML attributes may be used where applicable to carry information about the content of an associated element. The view which has been taken in the development of ONIX is that it is undesirable to use XML attributes to carry portions of the actual data content of the ONIX message. However, it is appropriate to use them to carry information which qualifies the data itself and its representation – metadata about metadata, as it were.

Accordingly, a number of general attributes are defined in ONIX for Books. Three attributes may be used with any ONIX element, and they are not noted individually for each data element in the specification:

  • datestamp
  • sourcename
  • sourcetype

Further attributes may be used with a limited selection of data elements, as noted individually for each element in the specification:

  • collationkey
  • dateformat
  • language
  • release
  • textcase
  • textformat
  • textscript

Attributes are carried within an XML start tag. The attribute name is lower case, separated from the name of the element by a space, and the attribute value is placed in double quotes. If there are two or more attributes in a single tag, they too are separated by a space. Multiple attributes in a single tag may occur in any order.

The built-in XML attributes xml:lang and xml:space are not used in ONIX for Books: these attributes are available by default in all XML applications, and cannot be prohibited technically, but should never be included in ONIX messages.

X.5 Datestamp attribute

Enables any data element or composite to carry the date or date and time when it was last updated or confirmed as correct (for example when it is not managed directly within the message sender’s system and the ‘age’ of the data is significantly older than the remainder of the message).

The attribute indicates the currency of the data, not necessarily when it was last changed. If not supplied, there is no default value, and recipients should assume that un-datestamped data is current at the time the message was sent. Data recipients should if necessary identify recently-changed data elements by comparison with any data previously supplied. If used on a composite, the datestamp indicates the most recent date when any individual data element within the composite was updated or confirmed as correct.

The datestamp attribute is particularly useful on frequently-changing data such as price, stock quantities and availability, and in circumstances where an ONIX recipient may receive data from varying sources, in order that they may select the most current data.

Permitted formats, where ‘T’ and ‘Z’ represent themselves (ie the letters T and Z), and where the symbol ‘±’ represents either ‘+’ or ‘-’ to indicate a timezone offset from UTC.
YYYYMMDDDate only
YYYYMMDDThhmmDate and time (local time of sender)
YYYYMMDDThhmmZUniversal time (UTC) †
YYYYMMDDThhmm±hhmmWith time zone offset from UTC †
YYYYMMDDThhmmssDate and time (with seconds)
YYYYMMDDThhmmssZUniversal time (with seconds)
YYYYMMDDThhmmss±hhmmWith time zone offset from UTC (with seconds)
† indicates the preferred formats
datestamp
<CopiesSold datestamp="20100621">6400 copies of this edition sold</CopiesSold> (Sales figure last confirmed June 2010)
The calendar date must use the Gregorian calendar, even if other dates within the message use a different calendar. For practical purposes, UTC is the same as GMT.
X.6 Sourcename attribute

Enables a data element or composite to carry the name of the source or authority for the data content. This is particularly useful when an ONIX record is issued based on information received from another party (eg a wholesaler passing information received from a publisher or distributor to a retailer). If not supplied, the data authority should be assumed to be the sender of the ONIX message.

Variable length text, suggested maximum 50 characters
sourcename
<x313 sourcename="XYZ Livres SA">01</x313> (XYZ is source of information)
X.7 Sourcetype attribute

Enables a data element or composite to carry a code indicating the type of source or authority for the data content. This is particularly useful when an ONIX record is issued based on information from another party (eg a wholesaler passing information received from a publisher or distributor to a retailer). If not supplied, the data source should be assumed to be the sender of the ONIX message.

Fixed length, two digits
List 3
sourcetype
<x313 sourcetype="01">01</x313> (Source of information is publisher)
X.7a Collation key attribute

Enables a data element to carry the key to be used for sorting, when the sort order is not inherent to the data itself. For example, with Chinese or Japanese contributor names, the collationkey attribute may carry phonetic information required to sort records by contributor.

Variable length text, suggested maximum 50 characters
collationkey
<b037 collationkey="むらかみはるき">村上春樹</b037>
X.8 Dateformat attribute

Used with a range of date elements to specify the format of the date. Each data element on which this attribute may be used specifies a default dateformat if the attribute is not supplied – for most date elements, this is format ‘00’, YYYYMMDD. In some cases, the format of the date may be described via a <DateFormat> data element instead, but this is deprecated. If dateformat and <DateFormat> are both supplied, <DateFormat> should be ignored.

Fixed length, two digits
List 55
dateformat
<Date dateformat="03">20104</Date> (Calendar quarter 4 of 2010)
X.9 Language attribute

Enables the language of any text element to be specified when it is not the expected default language of the message. The default language of the message (ie of the metadata) is generally set by agreement between sender and recipient, and is separate from (though usually identical to) the default language of the text used within the products described within the message (for the latter, see <DefaultLanguageOfText>).

Many data elements that carry the language attribute are repeatable in order to allow parallel text to be provided in multiple languages. Data recipients able to support only a single language should select the repeat that carries the most appropriate language attribute.

Generally, a language also implies a particular script. (There are a very few languages that are commonly written in more than one script.) However, names are not considered to be ‘in’ a particular language, but are commonly transliterated from one script to another, and a limited number of data elements carry the textscript attribute. These may also carry a language attribute in order that distinct transliterations that match the orthography norms of a particular language can be distinguished, cf the Cyrillic name ‘Александр Солженицын’, and the transliterations into Latin script ‘Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn’ (English), and ‘Alexandre Soljenitsyne’ (French).

Fixed length, three lower-case letters. Note that ISO 639 specifies that these codes should always be in lower-case
ISO 639-2/B List 74
language
<TitleText language="fre" textcase="01">Les misèrables</TitleText> (Title is in French [and in sentence case])
X.10 Release attribute

From ONIX for Books Release 3.0, identifies the release of the ONIX format standard to which the message conforms. Used only in the top-level element <ONIXMessage> (short tag <ONIXmessage>), and is mandatory. The value will change with each new release, so that all messages will show explicitly the release to which they are intended to conform.

must be “3.0” for this release
release
<ONIXmessage release="3.0">
X.11 Textcase attribute

Enables the case of the text of a title or subtitle to be specified. If not supplied, the default value is ‘00’, indicating the case is Undefined.

Fixed length, two digits
List 14
textcase
<TitleText textcase="03" language="spa">MÉXICO EN LA OBRA DE OCTAVIO PAZ</TitleText> (Title is all upper case [and in Spanish])
X.12 Textformat attribute

Used with a limited range of text elements that are allowed to contain formatted text, to enable the markup format such as XHTML to be specified. If not supplied, the default is ‘06’, indicating the text format is plain text in the character encoding declared in the XML declaration at the top of message, without additional markup. If the XML declaration does not specify a character encoding, the XML default character set should be assumed to be the basic ASCII characters. See the Character sets and special characters section below for further details of how a character encoding declaration is used.

Fixed length, two digits
List 34 Note only values 02, 03, 05, 06 and 07 may be used
textformat
<Text textformat="05"><p> … descriptive text … </p></Text> (Descriptive text contains XHTML markup)
X.12a Textscript attribute

Used with a limited range of text elements that are used to provide transliterated alternatives to names within the <AlternativeName> composite, and to titles.

Fixed length, four letters. Note that ISO 15924 specifies that script codes shall be sent as one upper case followed by three lower case letters

Using Release 3.0 schemas for validation

The main use of the ONIX for Books schemas is for making automated checks of the validity of an ONIX message: does it use the right tags and the right code values in the right place?

Prior to Release 2.1 Revision 02 there was only one official form of schema published by EDItEUR: DTDs, one for each flavor (Reference name and Short tag) of the format. It was a requirement of earlier Releases that every ONIX message used for supply chain communication purposes should include a URL pointing to the reference copy of the appropriate DTD on the EDItEUR website. From Release 2.1 Revision 02 onwards the alternative of using an XSD form of the schema for validation was available, and the DTD link could be omitted, but only by prior arrangement between the parties concerned. The DTD remained the official tool of reference for determining whether or not an ONIX message was valid.

With Release 3.0, the DTD no longer has a primary status, and implementers are free to choose between the three forms now available – DTD, XSD and RNG – according to their own implementation requirements and constraints.

The availability of the Release 3.0 schemas in three different forms means an increase in the validation options. The XSD and RNG forms are both much more expressive than the DTD form, enabling validation of code values, dates, quantities and link addresses where appropriate. The XSD and RNG forms are also easier for software developers to work with, and are therefore likely to make Release 3.0 quicker to implement. But it therefore no longer makes sense to require that all messages contain a link to a specific form of the schema on the EDItEUR website. A different approach to validation of messages is necessary.

For validation of ONIX messages against a Release 3.0 schema EDItEUR recommends that implementers adopt the following approach:

  1. Decide which form of schema to use for validation purposes;
  2. Download from the EDItEUR website a copy of the selected schema and install this copy in an accessible location on a local server (eg on a corporate intranet or on a stand-alone PC);
    • the local copy of the schema should be updated regularly to incorporate the latest issues of the codelists and any technical improvements in the schema itself;
  3. Configure the software tools used for validation purposes to refer to the local copy of the schema.

When using an XSD or RNG schema to validate ONIX messages, an appropriate xmlns namespace attribute is required in the top-level <ONIXMessage> start tag. When using a DTD, the namespace attribute is optional. If you are using Reference names, the namespace URI should be “http://ns.editeur.org/onix/3.0/reference”. If you are using Short tags, the namespace URI should be “http://ns.editeur.org/onix/3.0/short”. These namespace URIs are the same as those specified within the corresponding ONIX DTD, XSD and RNG schemas. Note that these URIs do not correspond to an actual web address that is reachable by a browser. They are simply a device for creating an unambiguous reference to the authority for the defined ONIX namespaces. Inclusion of the xmlns attribute in all messages is recommended.

using Reference names
<ONIXMessage release="3.0" xmlns="http://ns.editeur.org/onix/3.0/reference">
using Short tags
<ONIXmessage release="3.0" xmlns="http://ns.editeur.org/onix/3.0/short">

Depending on the software tools used for validation, further changes to this start tag may be necessary. For example, with some validation software it may be necessary to identify within the ONIX message the location of the .xsd file to be used for validation. This location would normally be on a local disc or internal network. The xsi:schemaLocation attribute links the ONIX namespace URI to the .xsd location, and this location would correspond to a real address reachable by a browser (from the machine doing the validation).

locating the XSD schema on an internal network
using Reference names
<ONIXMessage release="3.0" xmlns="http://ns.editeur.org/onix/3.0/reference" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://ns.editeur.org/onix/3.0/reference http://intranet/onix/ONIX_BookProduct_3.0_reference.xsd">
using Short tags
<ONIXmessage release="3.0" xmlns="http://ns.editeur.org/onix/3.0/short" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://ns.editeur.org/onix/3.0/short http://intranet/onix/ONIX_BookProduct_3.0_short.xsd">
The intranet location would be different for each organization’s validation scenario.

When using a DTD to validate an ONIX message, a suitable DOCTYPE declaration must be added.

Any link to a local copy of the relevant schema that has been added to an ONIX message by a sender for validation purposes – for example the xsi:schemaLocation attribute or any DOCTYPE declaration – should be removed prior to making the ONIX message available to supply chain partners. They will make their own arrangements for validation of incoming messages to suit their own internal systems. Note that the xmlns namespace attribute need not be removed.

Character sets and special characters

In principle, XML data files may include any Unicode character, and the default encoding is either UTF‑8 or UTF‑16. In practice, unless the XML declaration at the beginning of the ONIX message includes an explicit ‘encoding declaration’, you should restrict the character set to the printable characters of ASCII (ie those characters whose Unicode numbers fall between 32 and 126 inclusive). This limited character set is unlikely to be adequate for anything except the most basic data in English, so it is expected that most – and outside of the English language markets, all – ONIX messages will include an encoding declaration or other special coding of non-ASCII characters described in the Extended character sets and encoding declarations section below.

For reference, here is a list of the basic character set for which no special coding is necessary, all of which can be found on a standard English computer keyboard:

  • space character
  • capital letters A–Z
  • lower-case letters a–z
  • digits 0–9
  • punctuation ! " ' , - . : ; ?
  • brackets ( ) [ ] { }
  • symbols # $ % * + / = > \ @ _ ` | ~

The tab, line feed and carriage return characters are also allowed, but most XML software will treat them as spaces. Other ‘control characters’ (non-printing characters with an ASCII code number below 32) are not allowed.

This set deliberately does not include the characters ‘&’ and ‘<’. These characters have special significance in all XML applications, and therefore cannot be used as text characters in any ONIX data elements. If you need to include either of these characters within a data element (for example in the name of an organization such as ‘AT&T’ that by convention uses ‘&’ rather than ‘and’), you must use the XML named entity reference form of expression in place of the ‘&’ or ‘<’:

entity represents
&amp;&
&lt;<

You may also use named entity references in place of the following characters:

entity represents
&quot;"
&apos;'
&gt;>

ONIX for Books markup (XML element and composite names, attribute names, and code values drawn from the ONIX codelists) is limited to this basic set of ASCII characters, plus the literal ‘&’ and ‘<’ symbols.

Note that the currency symbols ‘£’, ‘¥’ and ‘€’ (the Pound Sterling, Yen and Euro symbols) are not in the basic set, nor are there standard named entity references that may be used in their stead. En and em rules, ellipsis and bullet characters, accented and other uncommon characters are also missing from the basic set. Note also that some office applications insert so-called ‘smart’ apostrophes and quotation marks (single or double, open or closed), and these too are not in the basic set.

If your ONIX message contains no characters beyond this basic set, then no special coding is necessary. However, without special precautions, if your ONIX message contains even a single character beyond this basic set, there is a significant risk that a recipient will reject your ONIX because it contains invalid text. This is because XML without a character encoding declaration will be assumed to use the UTF‑8 encoding – and even one extended character, for example from the Latin‑1 character set, is likely to cause a UTF‑8 text error.

X.13 Extended character sets and encoding declarations

If the basic ASCII character set is not adequate – and in most cases it will not be – there are two ways to incorporate non-ASCII characters into your ONIX data: either use Unicode numerical character references, or use an encoding declaration.

Numerical character references take the form defined in Section 4.1 of the XML 1.0 Recommendation. For example, the character ‘ž’ (z háček or z caron, used in Czech and some other languages) can be expressed as ‘&#382;’ or ‘&#x17e;’ where 382 and 17e are the Unicode character numbers in decimal and hexadecimal (base 16 numbers) respectively. In principle, any Unicode character can be included in ONIX data this way.

using a decimal character reference – é is character 233
<TitleText>Les Mis&#233;rables</TitleText> (Les Misérables)
using a hexadecimal character reference - é is character e9
<TitleText>Les Mis&#xe9;rables</TitleText> (Les Misérables)
Character references between &#127; and &#159; (or between &#x7f; and &#x9f; in hexadecimal) should never be used. It is a common error to use these numbers (eg &#158; or &#x9e; for ‘ž’), since they are valid character numbers in the Windows‑1252 character set, and they appear to work in web browsers, but they are strongly discouraged in all XML applications.

If you have a relatively small number of non-ASCII characters in your ONIX data, this approach using numerical character references might well be suitable. But beware: as above, in the absence of an encoding declaration, even a single character that is not in the basic ASCII set and not encoded into a numerical character reference can cause a text validation error.

If your ONIX data is not primarily in English, or if you make extensive use of extended characters even in English text, then it is likely to be simpler to use a message-wide encoding declaration. This must be included in the XML declaration at the beginning of the ONIX message.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?> (message uses ISO Latin‑1 character set and encoding)
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="Windows-1252"?> (message uses Windows‑1252 character set and encoding)
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-15"?> (message uses ISO Latin‑9 character set and encoding)

Declaring the ISO Latin‑1 character set with ISO‑8859‑1 encoding allows characters and diacritics used in most Western European languages to be included in the ONIX message without any special encoding, as well as some other extended characters. However, note that Latin‑1 does not include a ‘€’ symbol (Latin‑9 – also known as ISO‑8859‑15 – is an alternative character set that does), nor does it contain smart quotes (“ ” and ‘ ’), en and em dashes or the ellipsis character. Local circumstances may favor the use of other character sets and encodings, such as any of Parts 2 through 16 of ISO 8859, the common Windows‑1252 (which is likely to be used by many older Windows-based applications in North America and Western Europe, and which does include smart quotes, en and em dashes and the ellipsis), or various Asian language encodings such as Shift-JIS.

Alternatively, a Unicode encoding like UTF‑8 or -16 can include characters from any and all of these character sets. Despite the fact that UTF‑8, UTF‑16BE or UTF‑16LE are the ‘default’ character encodings used in all XML applications, it is strongly recommended that they are declared explicitly when it is used in an ONIX for Books message. A byte order mark should not be included in UTF encodings. EDItEUR recommends the use of UTF‑8 encoding in ONIX messages that will be exchanged outside a particular national market.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> (UTF‑8 encoding, Unicode character set)

Using a suitable message-wide encoding means that no special encoding needs to be used for individual non-ASCII characters, making it straightforward to include metadata in any language.

<Text>« Je viens détruire la fatalité humaine, écrit Hugo, je condamne l’esclavage, je chasse la misère, j’enseigne l’ignorance, je traite la maladie, j’éclaire la nuit, je hais la haine. Voilà ce que je suis et voilà pourquoi j’ai fait Les Misérables. »</Text>

This applies equally to languages that use a Latin-based script, such as French above, and languages that use other scripts:

data in Cyrillic script
<PersonNameInverted>Достоевский, Фёдор</PersonNameInverted> (Fyodor Dostoyevsky)
data in simplified Chinese script
<PersonName>刘慈欣</PersonName> (Liú Cíxīn)
right-to-left reading data in Arabic script
<TitleText>عمارة يعقوبيان</TitleText> (Imārat Yaʿqūbīān)
1--------> <··············2 3--------->

Note that for Arabic, as above, and other scripts normally rendered right-to-left, the order of characters in the message follows the logical reading order for each script (as indicated by the arrows): that is, the letters ain and meem forming the first syllable of the book title (the ‘Im’ in ‘Imārat’) immediately follow the <TitleText> start tag in the message data, even though they are displayed right to left, starting adjacent to the </TitleText> end tag, and the last Arabic character, the letter noon (the ‘n’ in ‘Yaʿqūbīān’), is followed immediately by the end tag, even though it is displayed adjacent to the start tag.

Whichever encoding is declared, ONIX implementers need to ensure the character set and encoding are controlled throughout the process of creating the ONIX data, so that data that is declared as being, say, ISO‑8859‑1, really is encoded as ISO‑8859‑1 and does not include any characters that are not present in the Latin‑1 character set: simple cutting and pasting text from a variety of sources, for example, is likely to introduce character encoding inconsistencies (a character would be understood by the recipient as some different character entirely) and may even result in completely invalid text. Software used to create XML with a rich character set needs careful configuration.

The two methods of incorporating non-ASCII characters can be combined: if your message uses the ISO Latin‑1 character set and ISO‑8859‑1 encoding, it can include characters such as é, ø or £ ‘natively’. And although Latin‑1 does not include the ‘ž’ character, it can still be included in your data using the numerical character reference ‘&#382;’ (or the hexadecimal equivalent ‘&#x17e;’). In contrast, if you use UTF‑8, no numerical character references are necessary – effectively all characters can be included ‘natively’.

Implementers should note that it is not a requirement that recipients of ONIX messages should be able to handle correctly any character encodings other than ASCII, but supporting at least UTF‑8 as an encoding is very strongly recommended. Equally, it is not a requirement for recipients to support any characters beyond the basic ASCII set, but in practice it is expected that recipients support the characters used in the commonly-used languages and scripts in their area of operation. For further technical guidance on character encodings in XML see Section 4.3.3 of the XML 1.0 Recommendation.

In earlier releases of ONIX for Books it was recommended that named HTML entity references be used in preference to numerical character references, and these were supported by the inclusion of special named entities such as ‘&ouml;’, ‘&hellip;’ or ‘&ndash;’ in the ONIX for Books DTD. This recommendation no longer applies, and named entity references other than the five mandatory entities required for XML (&amp;, &lt;, &gt;, &apos; and &quot;) are not supported in ONIX 3.0. Special characters that are not available in the character set and encoding used for the message may only be represented by numerical character references (ie an ellipsis may be included as ‘&#8230;’ or ‘&#x2026;’, where in previous ONIX versions, ‘&hellip;’ could have been used).

For textual data in an East Asian writing system which uses text glosses (for example Chinese or Japanese), glosses should be incorporated in one of two ways. In ONIX text fields that allow the inclusion of XHTML or HTML markup (see below), glosses should be incorporated using the (X)HTML <ruby> tag. In ONIX text fields that do not allow inclusion of XHTML or HTML markup, Unicode’s interlinear annotation delimiters (numerical character references &#xfff9;–&#xfffb;) may be used to delimit the gloss.

data in Japanese kanji script, including hiragana gloss
<PersonNameInverted>&#xfff9;村上春樹&#xfffa;むらかみ はるき&#xfffb;</PersonNameInverted> (Haruki Murakami)
This should typically be displayed as 村上 春樹むらかみ はるき. Note that the interlinear annotation delimiters do not need to be included as numerical character references – they can be ‘native’ characters if the character encoding allows – but numerical references are used here for clarity because the characters are otherwise invisible. If a recipient application cannot properly process the interlinear annotations, then &#xfff9; should be ignored, and &#xfffa; should be replaced with ‘ (’ and &#xfffb with ‘) ’ for display purposes.

Using XHTML, HTML or XML within ONIX text fields

Given the frequent requirement for ONIX messages to convey rich product information in a form suitable for use in web pages, guidance is provided below on how to incorporate content intended for use on the web – or any other text with XHTML or HTML markup – in an ONIX product record. However, in order to apply this guidance correctly, a user must already have some knowledge of different forms of web content. Those already familiar with the differences between HTML and XHTML may skip this section.

Web content that is largely text-based is generally styled for presentation in a web page using the HyperText Markup Language (HTML). HTML has been the language of the World Wide Web since its inception and is still the most popular language for constructing web pages. HTML was based upon the Standard Generalized Markup Language (SGML), which has been in use for preparing electronic content in academic and professional publishing since the early 1990s.

XML was developed in the late 1990s as demand grew for ways to use the web for exchanging data and messages that didn’t have to be presented as human-readable web pages. XML is a much stricter language than SGML, so it is generally not possible to incorporate HTML-tagged content directly into an XML message. Responding to demand to make it possible to embed HTML in XML, the World Wide Web Consortium has defined an XML-compatible version of HTML, called XHTML. XHTML text fragments can be embedded in XML messages, provided this is allowed by the tagging rules of the XML application.

The tagging rules of ONIX specify that XHTML text fragments may be embedded in certain ONIX data elements, but within very strict constraints. These constraints are set out in section X.14 below, along with a list of the appropriate data elements.

HTML text fragments – and indeed any fragment of tagged text, regardless of the tagging language – can also be embedded in ONIX data elements, but only by using XML techniques that ‘hide’ these fragments from any XML-aware software that is processing the ONIX message. Two such methods for embedding HTML or other tagged text in an ONIX data element are described in section X.15 below. These methods are available by default in all XML applications, and cannot be prohibited in ONIX applications, but their use is strongly discouraged. All ONIX users are encouraged to convert HTML text fragments to be valid XHTML fragments before incorporating them in ONIX messages. In any event, these methods should only be used in, and HTML should only be embedded in, the ONIX data elements that may also be used with XHTML (and which are listed below). The range of HTML tags and attributes used should be restricted in the same way as the usable XHTML tags.

X.14 XHTML (Version 1.0 or 1.1)

The ONIX Product Information Message DTD and the XSD and RNG schemas enable the inclusion of XHTML-tagged text within specific data elements where this has been deemed appropriate. This is, for example, the expected way to include multiple paragraphs of text in long descriptive data. In these cases the data element may contain any well-formed fragment of XHTML-tagged text – the allowed set of tags is based around XHTML 1.1 with the following restrictions:

  1. It must be the case that, if the fragment were to be placed in an otherwise empty <body> element in an XHTML document, the resulting document would be valid. Ideally, all text within the fragment should be enclosed in block-level XHTML tags (for example <p> or <ul>);
  2. The fragment may not include any XHTML forms, embedded objects, or script or document revision elements;
  3. The fragment may not use ‘event’ attributes and others that may affect browser behavior;
  4. The fragment may not include special character named entity references (other than the five available to all XML applications, where literal <, >, ', " and & characters occur in the XHTML text content. Note these entities should not be used to replace XHTML markup).

The intention of the first three of these restrictions is to prevent the unwitting or malicious transmittal of viruses in ONIX messages. The intention of the fourth of these restrictions is to enable validation of ONIX for Books messages against any of the three schema formats in which the ONIX for Books schemas are available.

Note also that some ONIX recipients may be reluctant to use XHTML text that contains links, images, tables, or that uses attributes such as style. Therefore, although a wide range of tags is allowed, it is strongly recommended that XHTML tags are limited to the following set:

  • <p>
  • <strong>
  • <ul>
  • <sub>
  • <dl>
  • <ruby>
  • <br />
  • <em>
  • <ol>
  • <sup>
  • <dt>
  • <rp>
  •  
  • <b>
  • <li>
  •  
  • <dd>
  • <rb>
  •  
  • <i>
  •  
  •  
  •  
  • <rt>
  •  
  • <cite>
  •  
  •  
  •  
  •  

Use of XHTML attributes should be limited to the type and start attributes to control bullets and list item numbering with the <ol> tag used for ordered lists.

The data elements within which XHTML markup may be used are:

  • <AncillaryContentDescription>
  • <AudienceDescription>
  • <BiographicalNote>
  • <BookClubAdoption>
  • <CitationNote>
  • <CopiesSold>
  • <ConferenceTheme> (deprecated)
  • <ContributorDescription>
  • <ContributorStatement>
  • <EditionStatement>
  • <EventDescription>
  • <FeatureNote>
  • <IllustrationsNote>
  • <InitialPrintRun>
  • <MarketPublishingStatusNote>
  • <PrizeJury>
  • <PrizeStatement>
  • <PromotionCampaign>
  • <PromotionContact> (deprecated)
  • <PublishingStatusNote>
  • <ReissueDescription> (deprecated)
  • <ReligiousTextFeatureDescription>
  • <ReprintDetail>
  • <SalesRestrictionNote>
  • <Text>
  • <TextSourceDescription>
  • <TitleStatement>
  • <VenueNote>
  • <WebsiteDescription>

The use of XHTML tags within any of these data elements should be signalled by including the textformat attribute with value ‘05’ in the start tag of the data element in question:

using Reference names
<Text textformat="05"><p>XHTML-tagged text…</p><p>…may be multiple paragraphs.</p></Text>
using Short tags
<d104 textformat="05"><p>XHTML-tagged text…</p><p>…may be multiple paragraphs.</p></d104>

Note that XHTML tags such as <p> or <strong> must be properly closed, correctly nested, and must be lower case. It may be useful with self-closing elements such as <br/> to use the modified form <br /> – the extra space character makes no significant difference in XHTML, but improves compatibility if the XHTML is inadvertently used by the recipient in an HTML context.

For XHTML textual data in an East Asian writing system which uses text glosses (for example, Chinese or Japanese), the <ruby> tag should be used. Both ‘simple’ and ‘complex’ ruby from XHTML 1.1 (see http://www.w3.org/TR/ruby/) are supported by the ONIX for Books schemas, though browser support for complex ruby is not universal. Note that XHTML markup must not be mixed with Unicode interlinear annotation delimiters within a single data element.

Most of the XHTML-enabled data elements listed above are also repeatable, to provide parallel text in multiple languages – <ConferenceTheme>, within which the use of XHTML markup is strongly discouraged, and the other two deprecated elements <PromotionContact> and <ReissueDescription> are the exceptions. (<TitleStatement> appears to be an exception, but it may be repeated per language using a separate <TitleDetail> composite.) In contrast, the following data elements are repeatable for multiple languages, but are not XHTML-enabled:

  • <DeletionText>
  • <EpubLicenseName>
  • <EventAcronym>
  • <EventPlace>
  • <EventName>
  • <EventTheme>
  • <ListName>
  • <LocationName>
  • <MessageNote>
  • <PricePartDescription>
  • <PriceTypeDescription>
  • <PrizeJury>
  • <ProductFormDescription>
  • <ProductFormFeatureDescription>
  • <ProfessionalPosition>
  • <RatingUnits>
  • <ReturnsNote>
  • <SourceTitle>
  • <SubjectHeadingText>
  • <WebsiteLink>
X.15 HTML (Version 4.01 or earlier), and other XML

The inclusion of text tagged in accordance with HTML version 4.01 or earlier in an ONIX data element is possible using one of two methods described below, but use of either method is strongly discouraged – if possible, use XHTML instead. In the event that HTML is included, in either of these ways, it may only be included in the elements listed in X.14 above, and the textformat attribute on the start tag for the element should be specified with the value ‘02’ (HTML, other than XHTML). It is strongly recommended that the range of HTML tags is limited to the small set listed for XHTML above (<p>, <br />, <strong> etc).

XML-tagged text can be included in the same selection of ONIX data elements, using the same two methods. XML-tagged text should use the textformat attribute with value ‘03’ (XML).

To embed HTML or XML (other than XHTML) in an ONIX data element, either:

  1. Replace the ‘<’ character at the start of every HTML or XML start and end tag with its entity reference ‘&lt;’, or
  2. Enclose the entire content of the data element within an XML ‘CDATA section’ (see Section 2.7 of the XML 1.0 Recommendation for details of this).

In general, method 2 using CDATA is preferred to method 1.

Note: using embedded HTML markup with either method presents significant difficulties for data senders and recipients who process the ONIX data using XSLT. Any named character entities encapsulated within CDATA will make the ONIX invalid after processing, since XSLT processing cannot output ONIX using method 2: conversion to numerical character references or native characters is required. And for method 1, special precautions need to be taken to avoid double-escaping of & or other named character entities or numerical character references after XSLT processing. Using XHTML as described in X.14 is strongly recommended as it avoids these issues.

HTML method 1 – replace < in HTML markup with &lt;
using Reference names
<Text textformat="02">&lt;P>Maj Sjöwall is best known for the &lt;I>Martin Beck&lt;/I> novels.&lt;/P></Text>
using Short tags (illustrating double-escaping issue)
<d104 textformat="02">&lt;P>Maj Sj&amp;#246;wall is best known for the &lt;I>Martin Beck&lt;/I> novels.&lt;/P></d104>
Only the < character should be changed. HTML tags may be upper or lower case, but lower case is recommended for improved compatibility. In HTML, some end tags such as </P> are optional. Note the use of a ‘double-escaped’ numerical character reference instead of native character ‘ö’ or the character reference &#246; in the Short tags example – this double escaping is strongly discouraged. Use just &#246; without double-escaping, instead of &amp;#246;. (And to avoid doubt, this means that if an & character is intended to appear in the final rendered HTML, it should be included in the ONIX data as &amp;, not as &amp;amp;.) Using this method, there may be issues when the < character is intended to appear in the final rendered HTML, and using the numerical character reference &#60; may help avoid these issues.
HTML method 2 – encapsulate HTML in <![CDATA[ … ]]>
using Reference names
<Text textformat="02"><![CDATA[<P>Maj Sjöwall is best known for the <I>Martin Beck</I> novels.]]></Text>
using Short tags (illustrating use of named character entity)
<d104 textformat="02"><![CDATA[<P>Maj Sj&ouml;wall is best known for the <I>Martin Beck</I> novels.]]></d104>
No special treatment of the < character in markup is necessary. Note the use of a named character entity &ouml; instead of native character ‘ö’. Since text within CDATA is not parsed by the recipient XML system, this may work, even though named character entities are not allowed within parsed ONIX data. However, if extended characters are incorporated into HTML using a named character entity or numerical character reference, special attention should be paid to those characters during testing of the ONIX data exchange. Note also that for the example HTML above, upper case tags are used only to make it clear the markup is HTML and not XHTML – upper case is allowed but not encouraged for HTML, whereas XHTML tags must be lower case.
XML method 1 – replace < in XML markup with &lt;
using Reference names
<Text textformat="03">&lt;para>XML-tagged paragraph with &lt;emph>emphasized&lt;/emph> text&lt;/para></Text>
using Short tags
<d104 textformat="03">&lt;para>XML-tagged paragraph with &lt;emph>emphasized&lt;/emph> words.&lt;/para></d104>
XML method 2 – encapsulate XML in <![CDATA[ … ]]>
using Reference names
<Text textformat="03"><![CDATA[<para>XML-tagged paragraph with <emph>emphasized</emph> words.</para>]]></Text>
using Short tags
<d104 textformat="03"><![CDATA[<para>XML-tagged paragraph with <emph>emphasized</emph> words.</para>]]></d104>

Note that the validity of the HTML or XML markup cannot be checked via the ONIX schemas, since with either method, the markup is effectively ‘hidden’ from the validation process.

The use of CDATA for anything other than inclusion of HTML or XML-tagged text should be avoided.

X.16 Using HTML5

HTML5 can be embedded using either method for HTML 4.

XHTML5 (the XML serialization of HTML5) may be embedded using the method for XHTML 1.0 and 1.1, provided that in addition to the rules that apply to all XHTML, new elements introduced only in XHTML5 are avoided – for example <article> or <section>. Some new elements may be allowed in a future version of the XHTML subset. A full list of allowed and disallowed elements is given in the Guide.

ONIX for Books Product record

Every ONIX message must contain either one or more <Product> composites or a single <NoProduct/> empty element.

Product composite

A product is described by a group of data elements beginning with an XML label <Product> and ending with an XML label </Product>. The entire group of data elements which is enclosed between these two labels constitutes an ONIX product record. The product record is the fundamental unit within an ONIX Product Information message. In almost every case, each product record describes an individually tradable item; and in all circumstances, each tradable item identified by a recognized product identifier should be described by one, and only one, ONIX product record.

In ONIX 3.0, a <Product> record has a mandatory ‘preamble’ comprising data Groups P.1 and P.2, and carrying data that identifies the record and the product to which it refers. This is followed by up to seven ‘blocks’, each optional, some of which are repeatable.

Product
product
0…n

P.1 Record reference, type and source

Two mandatory data elements must be included at the beginning of every product record or update. The first, <RecordReference>, is a string of text which uniquely identifies the record. The second, <NotificationType>, is a code which specifies the type of notification or update.

If the record is sent as a deletion, the reason for deletion can optionally be indicated as plain text in <DeletionText>.

The source of the record can optionally be indicated by one or more of the elements <RecordSourceType>, <RecordSourceIdentifier> and <RecordSourceName>.

P.1.1 Record reference

For every product, you must choose a single record reference which will uniquely identify the Information record which you send out about that product, and which will remain as its permanent identifier every time you send an update. It doesn’t matter what reference you choose, provided that it is unique and permanent. This record reference doesn’t identify the product – even though you may choose to use the ISBN or another product identifier as a part or the whole of your record reference – it identifies your information record about the product, so that the person to whom you are sending an update can match it with what you have previously sent. A good way of generating references which are not part of a recognized product identification scheme but which can be guaranteed to be unique is to prefix a product identifier or a meaningless row ID from your internal database with a reversed Internet domain name which is registered to your organization (reversal prevents the record reference appearing to be a resolvable URL). Alternatively, use a UUID.

This field is mandatory and non-repeating.

Variable length alphanumeric, suggested maximum length 100 characters

<a001>com.xyzpublishers.onix.36036</a001> (36036 is row ID in an internal database that is the source of the data in the record)
P.1.2 Notification or update type code

An ONIX code which indicates the type of notification or update which you are sending. Mandatory and non-repeating.

Fixed length, two digits

P.1.3 Reason for deletion

Free text which indicates the reason why an ONIX record is being deleted. Optional and repeatable, and may occur only when the <NotificationType> element carries the code value 05. The language attribute is optional for a single instance of <DeletionText>, but must be included in each instance if <DeletionText> is repeated. Note that it refers to the reason why the record is being deleted, not the reason why a product has been ‘deleted’ (in industries which use this terminology when a product is withdrawn).

<RecordSourceName>Cambridge University Press</RecordSourceName>
The record source need not be the same as the <Sender> specified in the message header: an aggregator may be the sender of a message containing records sourced from several different record suppliers.

P.2 Product identifiers

A valid product identifier must be included in every <Product> record. The GTIN-13 (formerly EAN-13) article number is the preferred identifier for international use across a range of product types. Other product numbers may be included where they exist. The XML Schema or DTD requires at least one number to be sent, but does not enforce or rule out any particular types or combinations.

In ONIX 3.0, redundant elements have been deleted, so the <ProductIdentifier> composite must be used.

Product identifier composite

A group of data elements which together specify an identifier of a product in accordance with a particular scheme. Mandatory within <Product>, and repeatable with different identifiers for the same product. As well as standard identifiers, the composite allows proprietary identifiers (for example SKUs assigned by wholesalers or vendors) to be sent as part of the ONIX record.

ISBN-13 numbers in their unhyphenated form constitute a range of EAN.UCC GTIN-13 numbers that has been reserved for the international book trade. Effective from 1 January 2007, it was agreed by ONIX national groups that it should be mandatory in an ONIX <Product> record for any item carrying an ISBN-13 to include the ISBN-13 labelled as an EAN.UCC GTIN-13 number (ProductIDType code 03), since this is how the ISBN-13 will be used in book trade transactions. For many ONIX applications this will also be sufficient.

For some ONIX applications, however, particularly when data is to be supplied to the library sector, there may be reasons why the ISBN-13 must also be sent labelled distinctively as an ISBN-13 (ProductIDType code 15). Users should consult ‘good practice’ guidelines and/or discuss with their trading partners.

Note that for some identifiers such as ISBN, punctuation (typically hyphens or spaces for ISBNs) is used to enhance readability when printed, but the punctuation is dropped when carried in ONIX data. But for other identifiers – for example DOI – the punctuation is an integral part of the identifier and must always be included.

P.4 Product parts

Elements in Group P.4 are used only when the <ProductComposition> and <ProductForm> codes for the product indicate that it is either a multiple-component or multiple-item retail product, or a trade pack. In either of these circumstances, ONIX 3.0 usage requires that there must be at least one instance of the <ProductPart> composite, to describe the items or components that together make up the product.

Additional guidance on the description of product parts in ONIX 3.0 will be found in a separate document ONIX for Books Product Information Format: How to describe sets, series and multiple-item products.

Product part composite

A group of data elements which together describe an item which is part of or contained within a multiple-component or multiple-item product or a trade pack. The composite must be used with all multi-component or multi-item products and packs to specify (for example) the item(s) and item quantities included in a combined book plus audiobook product, a multi-volume set, a filled dumpbin, or a classroom pack. In other cases, where parts are not individually identified, it is used to state the product form(s) and the quantity or quantities of each form contained within the product. The composite must be repeated for each item or component.

Each instance of the <ProductPart> composite must carry a <ProductForm> code and a quantity, even if the quantity is ‘1’. If the composite refers to a number of copies of a single item, the quantity must be sent as <NumberOfCopies>, normally accompanied by a <ProductIdentifier>. If the composite refers to a number of different items of the same form, without identifying them individually, the quantity must be sent as <NumberOfItemsOfThisForm>.

Consequently the element is mandatory, and non-repeating, in an occurrence of the <ProductPart> composite if <NumberOfItemsOfThisForm> is not present. It is normally accompanied by a <ProductIdentifier>; but in exceptional circumstances, if the sender’s system is unable to provide an identifier at this level, it may be sent with product form coding and without an ID.

P.5 Collection

Group P.5 is used to describe attributes of a bibliographic collection to which a product belongs.

A bibliographic collection in ONIX 3.0 means a fixed or indefinite number of products, published over a fixed or indefinite time period, which share collective attributes (including a collective title) that are required as part of the bibliographic record of each individual product. In this respect, such a collection is most often thought of as a series. A bibliographic collection may, however, also be traded as a single product (often thought of as a set), but this does not alter the way in which its collective attributes are described in the ONIX records for the individual products.

In other words, ONIX 3.0 doesn’t care whether a collection is most naturally thought of as a series or a set. If a fixed or indefinite number of products have a collective title and – possibly – other collective attributes that are required as part of the bibliographic record of each individual product, then those products are regarded as forming a collection.

ONIX 3.0 recognises two major types of collection: a publisher collection, and an ascribed collection. A publisher collection is one that is identified either on the products themselves or in product information originating from the publisher. An ascribed collection is one that is identified by another party in the information supply chain, usually an aggregator, for the benefit of retailers and consumers.

If the collection title, in full and word-for-word, is treated as part of the product title, then it will appear as part of <TitleDetail> in Group P.6, and the <Collection> composite is not usually needed. If the collection title is not treated as part of the product title, it must be sent in an instance of the <Collection> composite.

A product may (rarely) belong to two or more bibliographic collections. Consequently the collection-related elements constitute a repeatable composite.

Users should refer to the additional guidance and extensive examples to be found in a separate document ONIX for Books: Product Information Format: How to describe sets, series and multiple-item products.

Title element composite (collection)

A group of data elements which together represent an element of a collection title. At least one title element is mandatory in each occurrence of the <TitleDetail> composite. The composite is repeatable with different sequence numbers and/or title element levels. An instance of the <TitleElement> composite must include at least one of: <PartNumber>; <YearOfAnnual>; <TitleText>, <NoPrefix/> together with <TitleWithoutPrefix>, or <TitlePrefix> together with <TitleWithoutPrefix>. In other words, it must carry either the text of a title element or a part or year designation, and it may carry both.

A title element must be designated as belonging to product level, collection level, or subcollection level (the first of these may not occur in a title element representing a collective identity, and the last-named may only occur in the case of a multi-level collection).

In the simplest case, title detail sent in a <Collection> composite will consist of a single title element, at collection level. However, the composite structure in ONIX 3.0 allows more complex combinations of titles and part designations in multi-level collections to be correctly represented.

P.6 Product title detail

Group P.6 carries the title or titles of the product described in the ONIX record, and includes the primary occurrence of the <TitleDetail> composite, which is also used in Group P.5. The purpose of this extended title composite in ONIX 3.0 is to make it possible to deliver a distinctive title for a product when that title includes elements relating to a collection (as defined in P.5), or what is commonly referred to as a series. By structuring a complex title in this way, it is possible to identify correctly the collection level and product level elements, and to deliver them in whatever is the publisher’s preferred arrangement (eg ‘A Game of Thrones: A Song of Ice and Fire, Book 1’, where the collection-level title follows the product-level title).

For more information on the handling of complex titles, users should refer to the additional guidance and extensive examples to be found in a separate document ONIX for Books: Product Information Format: How to describe sets, series and multiple-item products.

An example of how a simple title is represented in the new structure appears at the end of this section.

Title detail composite

A group of data elements which together give the text of a title and specify its type. At least one title detail element is mandatory in each occurrence of the <DescriptiveDetail> composite, to give the primary form of the product title. The composite is repeatable with different title types.

Title element composite

A group of data elements which together represent an element of a title. At least one title element is mandatory in each occurrence of the <TitleDetail> composite. The composite is repeatable with different sequence numbers and/or title element levels, each repeat carrying a different part of the title. An instance of the <TitleElement> composite must include at least one of: <PartNumber>; <YearOfAnnual>; <TitleText>, <NoPrefix/> together with <TitleWithoutPrefix>, or <TitlePrefix> together with <TitleWithoutPrefix>. In other words it must carry either the text of a title or a part or year designation, and it may carry both.

A title element must be designated as belonging to product level, collection level, or subcollection level (the last-named only in the case of a multi-level collection).

In the simplest case, a product title will consist of a single title element, at product level. However, the composite structure in ONIX 3.0 allows complex titles to be correctly represented, in the sequence in which the publisher wishes the elements to be displayed.

P.7 Authorship

Authorship and other forms of contribution are described by repeats of the <Contributor> composite, within which the recommended form of representation of a person name is the structured data element group consisting of Person name part 1 to Person name part 8. In addition, more than one representation of the same name may be sent: the preferred structured name may be supplemented or replaced by a simple <PersonName> and/or <PersonNameInverted>. Where the contributor is not a person, but is a named group or a corporate contributor, <CorporateName> and/or <CorporateNameInverted> must be used instead.

A single occurrence of the composite may carry both the primary name of a contributor, and one or more alternative names, for example if a contributor is referenced both by their real name and by a pseudonym, or by the name given on the title page and by an authority-controlled name.

A contributor composite is valid in terms of the XML Schema or DTD provided it contains at least a <ContributorRole> code and:

  • one or more of the forms of representation of a person name, with or without an occurrence of the <NameIdentifier> composite; or
  • one or both of the forms of representation of a corporate name, with or without an occurrence of the <NameIdentifier> composite; or
  • an <UnnamedPersons> element, with or without an occurrence of the <NameIdentifier> composite; or
  • an occurrence of the <NameIdentifier> composite without any accompanying name element(s).

Other elements are optional, except that neither <Gender> nor <ProfessionalAffiliation> should be used with corporate contributors.

The <ContributorStatement> element may be used to provide a free text statement of the whole of the authorship of the product in the form in which the publisher intends it to be displayed. The individual name detail must still be sent in the <Contributor> composite for indexing and retrieval.

An optional element <NoContributor/> may be used to make a positive statement in an ONIX record that the item has no credited authorship.

Alternative name composite

A group of data elements which together represent an alternative name of a contributor, and specify its type. The <AlternativeName> composite is optional, and is repeatable to give multiple alternative names for the contributor. It may be used to send a pseudonym as well as a real name, where both names are on the product, eg to handle such cases as ‘Ian Rankin writing as Jack Harvey’; or to send an authority-controlled form of a name; or to identify the real name of the contributor where the book is written under a pseudonym (and the real identity need not be kept private) or is anonymous. Note that in all cases, the primary name is that used on the product, and the alternative name merely provides additional information.

Each instance of the composite must contain the <NameType> element with either:

  • one or more of the forms of representation of a person name, with or without an occurrence of the <NameIdentifier> composite; or
  • one or both of the forms of representation of a corporate name, with or without an occurrence of the <NameIdentifier> composite; or

P.9 Edition

Data element Group P.9 describes an edition of a work which is manifested in the product. Its use should generally be limited to describing an edition whose content is materially different from that of other editions of the same work. However, it may sometimes be used to specify a product feature (eg ‘bilingual edition’) without necessarily implying that another, different, edition also exists.

P.9.1 Edition type code

An ONIX code, indicating the type of a version or edition. Optional, and repeatable if the product has characteristics of two or more types (eg ‘revised’ and ‘annotated’).

The language attribute is optional for a single instance of <EditionStatement>, but must be included in each instance if <EditionStatement> is repeated. When used, an <EditionStatement> must be complete in itself, ie it should not be treated as merely supplementary to an <EditionType> or an <EditionNumber>, nor as a replacement for them. Appropriate edition type and number must also be sent, for indexing and retrieval. An <EditionStatement> should be strictly limited to describing features of the content of the edition, and should not include aspects such as rights or market restrictions which are properly covered elsewhere in the ONIX record.

P.12 Subject

Group P.12 has been simplified in ONIX 3.0 so that all subject codes and/or headings are sent using a single <Subject> composite, with a new <MainSubject/> flag to indicate what the sender regards as the main subject of the product.

While the XML Schema or DTD will allow an ONIX record to be sent without subject elements, it is expected that all ONIX descriptions should carry at least a main subject. US users are reminded that most US retailers and wholesalers require a BISAC subject category in order to load a record into their files; and for UK users a BIC subject category is mandatory in order to meet BIC Basic standards.

The main category may be expressed in more than one subject scheme, ie there may be two or more instances of the <Subject> composite, using different schemes, each carrying the <MainSubject/> flag, so long as there is only one main category per scheme. Optional and non-repeating in each occurrence of the <Subject> composite.

For category schemes that use code values, use the associated <SubjectCode> element to carry the value (if so required, the <SubjectHeadingText> element can be used simultaneously to carry the text equivalent of the code). For schemes that use text headings, use the <SubjectHeadingText> element to carry the text of the category heading.

Block 2: Marketing collateral detail

Collateral detail composite

The collateral detail block covers data Groups P.14 to P.17, all of which are primarily concerned with information and/or resources which in one way or another support the marketing of the product. The block as a whole is non-repeating.

The block is not mandatory within the <Product> record, nor are any of the individual sections mandatory within an occurrence of the block. However, in most circumstances, the block should contain at least one instance of <TextContent>, <CitedContent>, <SupportingResource> or <Prize>. It may be empty only within a partial or ‘block update’ (Notification or update type 04, see P.1.2), when the intention is to remove all previously-supplied collateral material.

Optional in each occurrence of the <TextContent> composite, and non-repeating. If omitted, the text is intended for use wherever the product may be sold (see Group P.21). If included, the text should be used by recipients in the specified territory in preference to any text that lacks a specified territory.

Care should be taken to avoid ambiguities (for example two different ‘short descriptions’ – without language attributes or with the same language attribute – marked for use in the same country or region), and to ensure that appropriate descriptions and supporting text are supplied for all countries and regions where the product may be sold. The simplest way to accomplish the latter is to ensure at least one version of the text does not have a territory specified. Where multiple texts of the same type are provided, those without specific <Territory> composites are intended for use only where no appropriate targeted text is present.

In ONIX 3.0, cited content means content owned and/or published by a third party which is relevant to a product. The key distinction between supporting resources (P.16) and cited content is that a supporting resource comes with a clear invitation to the receiver to use it (subject to any specified limitations), while cited content is the intellectual property of a third party, subject to that party’s copyright or other rights, and can only be referenced.

Care should be taken to avoid ambiguities (for example two different citations of the same type marked for use in the same country or region), and to ensure that appropriate citations are supplied for all countries and regions where the product may be sold. The simplest way to accomplish the latter is to ensure at least one version of the citation does not have a territory specified.

P.16 Links to supporting resources

Group P.16 describes supporting resources, with links to their web addresses. In ONIX 3.0, a supporting resource is a piece of content in digital form which is offered by a publisher or other supply chain participant to be used by the receiver of an ONIX feed for promotional purposes, or as additional information. The key distinction between supporting resources and cited content (P.15) is that a supporting resource comes with a clear invitation to the receiver to use it (subject to any specified limitations), while cited content is the intellectual property of a third party, subject to that party’s copyright or other rights, and can only be referenced.

Supporting resource composite

An optional group of data elements which together describe a supporting resource. The composite is repeatable to describe and link to multiple resources. Note that different forms of the same resource (for example a cover image in separate low and high resolution versions) should be specified in a single instance of the composite.

Territory composite

A group of data elements which together define a territory for which the supporting resource is specifically intended. Optional in each occurrence of the <SupportingResource> composite, and non-repeating. If omitted, the supporting resource is intended for use wherever the product may be sold (see Group P.21). If included, the resource should be used by recipients in the specified territory in preference to any supporting resource that lacks a specified territory.

Care should be taken to avoid ambiguities (for example two different cover images marked for use in the same country or region), and to ensure that appropriate resources are supplied for all countries and regions where the product may be sold. The simplest way to accomplish the latter is to ensure at least one version of the resource does not have a territory specified. Where multiple resources of the same type are provided, those without specific <Territory> composites are intended for use only where no appropriate targeted resource is present.

Block 7: Promotion detail

Promotion detail composite

The promotion detail block comprises the single data Group P.27. The block as a whole is optional and non-repeating, and is used only when there is a need to describe various promotional events intended to promote the product in a structured way. When used, the block usually consists of one or more instances of <PromotionalEvent>. It may be empty only within a partial or ‘block update’ (Notification or update type 04, see P.1.2), when the intention is to remove all previously-supplied promotion detail.

P.27 Promotional events

Block 7 may contain one or more repeats of the <PromotionalEvent> composite, each describing a single event such as an author tour organised to promote the product or work. The event consists of one or more occurrences, for example a particular stop on a tour. Each occurrence shares key attributes such as the event type and the participants with other occurrences, while having unique attributes such as the date, time and location.

Promotional event composite

An group of data elements which together describe a promotional event or series of event occurrences such as an author tour. Optional in any occurrence of the <PromotionDetail> composite, but it may be omitted only within a partial or ‘block update’ (Notification or update type 04, see P.1.2) when the intention is to remove all previously supplied promotional event detail. When used normally, it is repeatable to describe multiple events linked to promotion of the product.

The promotional event composite must contain at least one <EventOccurrence>. It may optionally contain one or more contributors to the event, listing those that are also contributors to the product using <ContributorReference> and those that are not contributors to the product using <Contributor>. If there are no contributors to the event of either type, an optional <NoContributor/> flag may be included instead.

Block 3: Content detail

Content detail composite

The Content detail block comprises the single data Group P.18. The block as a whole is non-repeating. It is not mandatory within the <Product> record, and is used only when there is a requirement to describe individual chapters or parts within a product in a fully structured way. The more usual ONIX practice is to send a table of contents as text, possibly in XHTML, in Group P.14.

When used, the block should normally contain at least one instance of <ContentItem>. It may be empty only within a partial or ‘block update’ (Notification or update type 04, see P.1.2), when the intention is to remove all previously-supplied content detail.

ContentDetail

P.18 Content items

In principle, most parts of a complete ONIX description could be nested within a <ContentItem> composite. In Release 3.0, the composite has been updated with changes that follow automatically from changes in the corresponding elements that are used elsewhere in the <Product> record, and some redundant elements have been removed.

Content item composite

A group of data elements which together describe a content item within a product. Optional in any occurrence of the <ContentDetail> composite, but it may be omitted only within a partial or ‘block update’ (Notification or update type 04, see P.1.2) when the intention is to remove all previously supplied content detail. When used normally, it is repeatable for each content item within the product.

P.18.1 Level sequence number

A number which specifies the position of a content item in a multi-level hierarchy of such items. Numbering starts at the top level in the hierarchy, which may represent (eg) chapters in a printed book, and the first item at the top level is numbered 1. Numbers should be assigned solely with a view to the logic of the ONIX description and not in relation to any other characteristics of the items being numbered (such as their actual numbering or their typographical layout in a printed table of contents). So for example, Chapter 2 could have a level sequence number of 3, and the second sub-section within Chapter 2 could be numbered 3.2. <LevelSequenceNumber> is not a required field, but it is strongly recommended for structured tables of contents. If used, it must occur once and only once in each occurrence of the <ContentItem> composite.

P.20 Global publishing status and dates / copyright

Group P.20 covers elements that specify a publishing status and any publishing dates which apply ‘globally’ to a product, ie which are not specific to a geographical market. An important difference between ONIX 3.0 and all earlier releases is that it is no longer mandatory (thought it is still recommended as good practice) to specify a ‘global’ status and pubdate, provided that a <ProductSupply> block carries this information in respect of each territorial market in which a product is distributed. It is expected that for those markets that are essentially international, eg the English-speaking countries, ONIX senders will prefer to provide publishing status and dates at market level in P.25 and also provide a global status and pubdate in P.20. However, for those markets that are essentially national, ONIX feeds can continue to use Group P.20 (alone).

For all markets, any copyright statement attached to a product should continue to be carried in P.20, if it is required in the ONIX record.

P.20.1 Publishing status

An ONIX code which identifies the status of a published product. Optional and non-repeating, but required if publishing status is not identified at market level in <MarketPublishingDetail> (P.25).

Where the element is sent by a sender who is not the publisher, based on information that has been previously supplied by the publisher, it is strongly recommended that it should carry a datestamp attribute to indicate its likely reliability. See Section 1 for further details of the datestamp attribute.

Fixed length, two digits

PublishingStatus
b394
0…1
<PublishingStatus>02</PublishingStatus> (Forthcoming)

Note the typical progression of publishing status, from announcement to out-of-print, through the life cycle of a product. The pale shaded area shows when the product is ‘orderable’ from the publisher or the publisher’s distributor, though if the product is ‘Forthcoming’ (and is later postponed indefinitely or cancelled) or the product ‘Out of stock indefinitely’, the order may not be fulfilled. Statuses ‘Withdrawn’, ‘Recalled’ are not shown on the diagram, but would normally be preceded by ‘Active’. Statuses ‘No longer our product’ and ‘Unknown’ are also not shown. In exceptional circumstances, products that are ‘Out of print’ are occasionally reactivated, returned to ‘Active’ status, via a reprint or print-on-demand decision, and a ‘Cancelled’ product may be reviewed and the title re-announced:

[out of stock, no reprint orders pending] [out of stock, no reprint orders pending] Out of print (07) announce Forthcoming (02) publish on time? publish on time? [publish] [publish] Active (04) Out of stock indefinitely, RUC (06) [reprint] [reprint] [no reprint] [no reprint] postpone? Cancelled (01) [abandon] [abandon] new date set? new date set? reprint? reprint? Postponed indefinitely (03) [abandon] [abandon] intend to publish? intend to publish? [new date] [no new date] [no new date] [new date set] [new date set] Remaindered (10) [out of stock] [excess stock]

This element and the equivalent <MarketPublishingStatus> in P.25 are frequently confused with <ProductAvailability> in P.26. The latter describes whether the product is available from a particular supplier (eg a distributor or wholesaler) – it is an attribute of the supply chain – whereas the publishing status of a product describes decisions made solely by the publisher or the publisher’s representative in a market. For example, a publisher may decide that a product is ‘out of print’ even while there are many copies available in the supply chain – the OP decision would be reflected in <PublishingStatus> while the continued availability of copies would be reflected in <ProductAvailability>.

P.20.2 Publishing status note

Free text that describes the status of a published product, when the code in <PublishingStatus> is insufficient. Optional, but when used, must be accompanied by the <PublishingStatus> element. Repeatable if parallel notes are provide in multiple languages. The language attribute is optional for a single instance of <PublishingStatusNote>, but must be included in each instance if <PublishingStatusNote> is repeated.

P.21 Territorial rights and other sales restrictions

Release 3.0 allows rights to be specified for any geographical territory. Group P.21 details the rights that the publisher chooses to exercise in the product described by the ONIX record. These may be different from (narrower than) the publication rights owned by the publisher in the underlying work, and may be different from (broader than) the distribution rights held by a particular supplier or group of suppliers in a market (see Group P.24). The P.21 sales rights should be a subset of (or the same as) the publication rights owned by the publisher, and the P.24 market should be a subset of (or the same as) the sales rights. Note that ONIX for Books says nothing directly about the publisher’s publication rights, except in so far as they are reflected in the sales rights.

The aim is to provide precise and reliable geographical rights information that can be used in a computer system to determine whether a product can or cannot be sold in a particular territory. There are no defaults. If no information is known about some range of territories, this should be stated explicitly using the <ROWSalesRightsType> data element.

The <SalesRights> composite allows rights to be specified as exclusive or non-exclusive or not-for-sale in any combination of countries or regions. It is also possible to specify rights as ‘worldwide’ or ‘worldwide with specified exclusions’ if this enables them to be stated more concisely.

The composite also allows details of an equivalent product to be sent in respect of a territory in which the product described in the ONIX record is not for sale. This information is particularly helpful in enabling international online booksellers to ensure that territorial rights are correctly identified and observed.

Special note on US and UK ‘Open Market’, and UK ‘Airport’ or ‘Airside’ editions. It is expected that such editions, like any others, should carry a full statement of the territories in which they are available for sale. If it is desired, as a matter of convenience, to refer to them as ‘Open Market’ or ‘Airside’, this should be additional to, not instead of, a full territorial rights statement, and should be handled through the <TradeCategory> element in Group P.3. Coding for ‘UK Airports’ and ‘UK Airside’ is included in the <Territory> composite, as these need to be distinguished as specific ‘territories’, but there should be no coding for ‘Open Market’ within this data element group.

Additional guidance on the description of sales rights in ONIX 3.0 will be found in a separate document ONIX for Books Product Information Message: How to Specify Markets and Suppliers in ONIX 3.

Sales rights composite

An optional and repeatable group of data elements which together identify territorial sales rights which a publisher chooses to exercise in a product. When specifying a territory in which the product is not for sale, the publisher and product ID for an edition which is available in the specified territory can optionally be included. (In previous releases, this functionality was provided in a <NotForSale> composite, which is now redundant and has been deleted.) See examples at the end of the sales rights composite.

P.23 Related products

The <RelatedProduct> composite in Group P.23 allows a relationship between one product and another to be specified, normally using an ISBN in GTIN-13 format to identify the related product. By general agreement among ONIX user groups, the composite has been substantially reduced in ONIX 3.0 so that it carries only a link to the related product, and little or (ideally) no other detail. This is on the principle that detail of the related product should be accessed through its own metadata, and not repeated in several different places.

Related product composite

It is not expected to be present in most ONIX messages – though recipients not requiring the data should be able to ignore the entire block if it is supplied.

When used, the block should normally contain at least one instance of <ProductionManifest>. It may be empty only within a partial or ‘block update’ (Notification or update type 04, see P.1.2), when the intention is to remove all previously-supplied manifest detail.

P.28 Production manifest

The Production manifest composite provides specification and file manifest detail for a Product, or – where the Product contains multiple Product parts as listed in Group P.4 – for a single Product part. Optional in any occurrence of the <ProductionDetail> composite, but it may be omitted only within a partial or ‘block update’ (Notification type 04, see P.1.2) when the intention is to remove all previously supplied production detail. When used normally, the composite is repeatable to carry manifests for multiple Product parts.

Each manifest consists of:

  • a <ProductIdentifier> to link the manifest to a specific Product part (this is required only where there are Product parts, and must be omitted when there are none);
  • an optional cover manifest;
  • a mandatory body manifest;
  • optional and repeatable insert manifests;
  • optional and repeatable manifests for supplements (this might include a small PDF ‘booklet’ supplied with a digital audio product, or an item of packaging);
    • supplements may themselved have cover, body and insert manifests.

All manifests, whether for cover, body or inserts, carry specification information for creation of the physical or digital product, and a list of the file resources required. Each file resource can carry details of the resource itself and the URL link from which it can be obtained by the intermediate service provider (with the correct credentials).

Product identifier composite (product part)

A group of data elements which together specify a product identifier, used here to carry an identifier which must match a product identifier in an instance of the <ProductPart> composite within Group P.4. The composite is mandatory and repeatable when <ProductPart> is present within the Product record, but must be omitted if there are no product parts. Where multiple product identifiers are provided in any one occurrence of the <ProductionManifest> composite, they must all identify the same product part.

End of Product identifier composite (product part)
Cover manifest composite

A group of data elements which together provide manifest details for the cover of a Product or Product part. These details include:

  • technical specifications for the cover;
  • details of the file resources required to create the cover.

Note that the high-level specifications such as the Product form or overall size are carried in Block 1 – the manifest specifications are more detailed in nature, and must be consistent with the high-level specifications.

Technical specifications in the manifest can be provided either as a pre-defined and named ‘bundle’ encompassing all the required technical details, and/or as a set of individually-specified details. Bundle names are inevitably proprietary. It is possible to provide two or more bundle names if, for example, a physical book is set up for on-demand manufacturing by multiple POD suppliers, and a supplier who does not pre-define bundles can use the individually-specified details.

The composite is optional – it may be omitted where the Product or Product part has no cover – and is not repeatable.

Cover resource composite

A group of data elements that together provide details of a single file or resource of which the cover is composed. At least one resource is required in each <CoverManifest>, and the <CoverResource> composite is repeatable to describe multiple resources.

The composite must contain either a Resource file link or a No resource indicator.

P.28.11 Sequence number

A number which (in combination with any <SalesOutlet> composite) specifies a single overall sequence of cover resources. Optional and non-repeating. It is strongly recommended that each occurrence of the <CoverResource> composite should carry a <SequenceNumber>.

Note that with <SalesOutlet> below, the provision of vendor-specific resources can require the use of duplicate sequence numbers.

Sales outlet composite

A group of data elements which together identify a specific retail outlet. Optional in each occurrence of the <CoverResource> composite, and repeatable with multiple outlets.

Normally omitted, but for vendor-specific resources, the <SalesOutlet> composite lists an outlet for which the resource is relevant. The <SalesOutlet> composite may be repeated where a single resource is relevant for multiple outlets. Where <SalesOutlet> is omitted, the resource is appropriate for all – or all other – outlets, depending on the use of the resource’s Sequence number.

Manifest consisting of three resources: Manifest consisting of two or three resources:
  • sequence number 1 – no sales outlet
  • sequence number 2 – exclusive to Amazon
  • sequence number 2 – no sales outlet (ie alternative resource for third parties other than Amazon)
  • sequence number 3 – no sales outlet
  • sequence number 1 – no sales outlet
  • sequence number 2 – exclusive to Amazon/Kobo
  • sequence number 2 – exclusive to publisher’s direct sales
  • sequence number 2 – no sales outlet and <NoResource/> (ie no alternative resource for third parties other than Amazon, Kobo and the publisher’s direct sales)
  • sequence number 3 – no sales outlet

In the first example, the insert always consists of three resources. Resources #1 and #3 are used for all vendors, with the vendor-specific resource #2 for Amazon replacing resource #2 used for all other vendors. In the second example, the same vendor-specific resource #2 is used for Amazon and Kobo, a different #2 resource is used for the publisher’s own direct sales, whereas the cover for other vendors consists of only two resources (#1 and #3).

Supplement manifest composite

An optional group of data elements detailing a simple subset of Group P.1 to specify the Product form, an optional cover, mandatory body and optionally one or more insert manifests for a single Supplement – an additional item supplied with the product at retail that is NOT considered a <ProductPart>, for example a booklet supplied in PDF form that accompanies a downloadable audio product. Each of these cover, body and insert sections within <SupplementManifest> mirrors the structure of the parts of a <ProductionManifest>.

These manifests may be preceded by a <SequenceNumber> and one or more <SalesOutlet> composites to enable vendor-specific supplements, and a simple <NoSupplement/> indicator may replace the Product form and cover, body and insert manifests to provide a positive indication that a vendor-specific supplement has no ‘generic’ alternative.

Block 6: Product supply

Product supply composite

The product supply block covers data Groups P.24 to P.26, specifying a market, the publishing status of the product in that market, and the supply arrangements for the product in that market. The block is repeatable to describe multiple markets. At least one occurrence is expected in a <Product> record unless the <NotificationType> in Group P.1 indicates that the record is a partial update notice which carries only those blocks in which changes have occurred.

ProductSupply
productsupply
0…n

P.24 Market

Group P.24 specifies the geographical extent of a market in which a product is distributed, and any applicable non-geographical sales restrictions. It is open to an ONIX user community where all trading takes place within a single geographical market, so that all ONIX records apply to this market, to agree to dispense with Group P.24; and it is therefore not defined as mandatory in the Schema or DTD. Where more complex trading relationships apply, the product may be available in multiple markets – where separate markets are distinguished partly through their geographical extent and distribution arrangements, and partly through details such as differing publication arrangements or availability across those markets.

Additional guidance on the description of markets in ONIX 3.0 will be found in a separate document ONIX for Books Product Information Message: How to Specify Markets and Suppliers in ONIX 3.

Market composite

A group of data elements which together give details of a geographical territory and any non-geographical sales restrictions that apply within it. Optional in terms of the schema definitions, but required in most ONIX applications. If omitted, the geographical extent of the market must be assumed to be the area defined by the sales rights.

The <Market> composite is repeatable, but in almost all cases only a single instance is required. It may be repeated if a non-geographical sales restriction applies only to a part of a geographically-defined market – for example where a product is sold throughout the European Union, but exclusive to a single retailer in France.

This includes details of the publisher’s representation in that market (where applicable); the publishing status of a product in the market, together with publishing dates; and information about promotional activity.

It is open to an ONIX user community where all trading takes place within a single geographical market, so that all ONIX records apply to this market, to agree to dispense with Group P.25; and it is therefore not defined as mandatory in the Schema or DTD. In this event, a ‘global’ publishing status and pubdate must be included in Group P.20. For products traded in international markets, Group P.25 is expected to be used.

P.26 Supply detail

Group P.26 carries information about the availability and price, and other aspects of the supply status, of a product in a specified market. The market itself is described in P.24, and the status of the product in that market in P.25. P.26 is the most complex group of an ONIX for Books product record, though largely because of the number of purely optional composites.

<j396 datestamp="20101029">41</j396> (Replaced by new product)

Note the typical progression of product availability, from initial announcement to one of the forms of ‘unavailable’. Not all possible availability codes are shown, particularly within the ‘Unavailable’ group where there are many more possible options:

Temporarily unavailable (3x codes) Available (2x codes) Available (2x codes) Unavailable (4x, 5x codes) OTO (22) POD (23) INS (21) AWS (11) [stock on order] [stock on order] [will not be stock item] [‘published’, no stock yet] [‘published’, no stock yet] [publisher abandons] NYA (10) AB (01) [stock in warehouse] NYAD (12) [‘publish’] [‘publish’] RI (33) RP (32) OS (31) [publisher abandons] RPL (41) NLS (43) ALT (42) [POD product] [‘Stock’ product]

Transitions within and between the shaded groups are greatly simplified – for example, it would be unexpected if ‘Reprinting’ or ‘Reissuing’ statuses (32 and 33 on List 65) would be followed by anything other than ‘In stock’ (21), but on occasion where the publisher changes plans, ‘Available via POD’ (23), ‘Only to order’ (22), or an ‘Unavailable’ (4x) code are all possible. Ideally, ‘Abandoned’ (01) and the ‘Unavailable’ (4x) codes indicate the end of the product’s life, but as with <PublishingStatus>, cancelled or out of print products are occasionally re-activated or re-announced.

Where multiple prices are specified for a product, each price option should specify a distinct combination of its terms of trade and the group of end customers it is applicable to, any relevant price conditions, periods of time, currency and territory etc, so that the data recipient can clearly select the correct pricing option. If, under a particular combination, the product is free of charge or its price is not yet set, an <UnpricedItemType> element (P.26.70b) must be used in place of a <PriceAmount>. Each pricing option may optionally be given an identifier for use in subsequent revenue reporting or for other internal purposes.

Tax composite

A repeatable group of data elements which together specify tax included within a price amount. Optional, and used only when <PriceType> indicates an inc-tax price. For items to which different taxes or tax rates apply (eg mixed media products in the UK which are partly taxed at standard rate and partly at zero rate), the composite is repeated for each separate tax or tax rate. Although only one of <TaxRatePercent> or <TaxAmount> is mandatory within the composite, it is recommended that all tax elements in the composite should be explicitly populated.

If the tax regime requires separate tax rates and amounts linked explicitly to particular product parts (eg in Germany), the <ProductIdentifier> composite may be included in each <Tax> composite. Where tax is payable on multiple product parts, each should have its own instance of the <Tax> composite.

Comparison product price composite

Optional group of data elements that together define a price for a directly comparable product, to facilitate supply of price data to retailers who do not receive a full ONIX record for that comparable product. This is primarily intended for use within a <Product> record for a digital product, to provide a price for a comparable physical product. The composite is repeatable in order to define multiple comparison prices.

Those using this composite should be wary of the volatile nature of product prices: special note should be taken of the risk of stale data being stored in data recipients’ systems when prices for the comparison product are updated, as those updates to the comparison product may occur outside the context of the main product being described in the <Product> record. Because of this, ONIX suppliers are cautioned of the risk of contradictory data in separate data feeds. This composite should not be supplied unless specifically requested by a particular recipient.

The inclusion of a comparison price in itself implies nothing about the availability or status of the comparable product. However, there may be legal requirements in particular territories relating to the use of comparison prices in promotion that users of this data must comply with.

Note that the comparison product price composite does not include all the features of the <Price> composite: for example, <PriceQualifier> is not included. Thus data providers should ensure that any conditions attached to the comparison product price are such that it is directly comparable to the price of the main product being described.

Product identifier composite (comparison product)

At least one <ProductIdentifier> composite is mandatory within an occurrence of <ComparisonProductPrice>, to identify the product to which the comparison price applies. Repeatable with different identifiers for the same product.

It is strongly advised that the relationship between the comparison product and the product described in the <Product> record is defined in a <RelatedProduct> composite in P.23 – typically this might be <ProductRelationCode> 06 (related product is alternative format with same content as product) and may in many circumstances also be 13 (product is e-publication based on related product).

Reissue composite

An optional and non-repeating group of data elements which together specify that a product is to be reissued within the market to which the <SupplyDetail> composite applies.

The entire <Reissue> composite is deprecated. Suppliers should supply information about planned reissues in other parts of the Product record – the date of a planned reissue in <PublishingDate> and/or in <MarketDate>, and new collateral material alongside old collateral in Block 2 where collateral items may be associated with appropriate end and start dates using <ContentDate>.

The <Reissue> composite was (prior to deprecation) used only when the publisher intended to re-launch the product under the same ISBN. There are two possible cases:

  1. When the product is unavailable during the period immediately before reissue. In this case, <ProductAvailability> should carry the value 33 for ‘unavailable, awaiting reissue’, and the ONIX record can be updated to describe the reissued product as soon as details can be made available;
  2. When the product is still available during the period up to the reissue date. In this case, the ONIX record should continue to describe the existing product and the <ProductAvailability> value should continue to record the product as ‘available’ (eg code 21) right up to the reissue date. At that date, the record should be updated to describe the reissued product, with the <ProductAvailability> value usually remaining unchanged.

After reissue, the <Reissue> composite can be retained as a permanent element of the ONIX record, carrying only the <ReissueDate> element, which will then indicate ‘date last reissued’.

A.1 ONIX for Books data element summary

The summary table shows all the data elements which occur in Release 3.0, in the order they must occur in a message, with both Reference names and the equivalent Short tags.

Data elements are linked back to their definitions. Leader dots and indentation of Reference names indicate the nesting structure of the composites and data elements. Red coloring of elements indicates the element is deprecated.

The rightmost column indicates the cardinality of each data element – whether the element is optional (0…1), optional and repeatable (0…n), mandatory (1) or mandatory and repeatable (1…n) – within its parent element.

Where data element content is controlled by a code list, the list number is shown in the adjacent List/Attr column. This column also indicates data elements that may carry XHTML-formatted text, or a collationkey, dateformat, language, release, textcase, textformat, textscript or xmlns attribute, using the abbreviations x, ck, df, la, rl, tc, tf, ts and ns. Note that all elements and composites may carry the datestamp, sourcename and sourcetype attributes. A dagger symbol (†) in this column indicates a data element or composite new in 3.0.1, a double dagger (‡) indicates new in 3.0.2, a section symbol (§) indicates new in 3.0.3, Delta (∆) indicates new in 3.0.4, Phi (Φ) indicates new in version 3.0.5, a Psi symbol (Ψ) indicates new in version 3.0.6, a Sigma (Σ) indicates new in version 3.0.7, and a Xi (Ξ) indicates new in version 3.0.8.

A.2 Sample messages

While it is clearly impossible for a single, realistic example message to illustrate all features of ONIX for Books, the annotated sample message below has been chosen so that it highlights a number of the features of Release 3.0 which will be most commonly used. It illustrates a single, ‘typical’ product record, rather than trying to include all possible features that could occur in a single product record. The sample message is based on a real book from a real publisher (HarperCollins’ 2006 paperback version of Roseanna by Maj Sjöwall and Per Wahlöö, ISBN 978‑0‑00‑723283‑3), but is not that publisher’s real ONIX output: it’s a constructed example that purports to have been sent by a fictitious data aggregator to an equally fictitious Internet-based international bookseller, based on information supplied by the publisher.

There are two versions of the sample message, using Reference names and Short tags, and their content is identical. Throughout the examples, data in red indicates values taken from the ONIX code lists, text in blue indicates free text or other content not taken from ONIX code lists – though note that it may still be subject to specific format requirements such as XHTML markup, or an identifier or date/time format, or drawn from some external controlled vocabulary. Lines are numbered and annotated for convenience – an actual ONIX message would contain only the XML in the middle column of the table. The examples are indented for clarity, but a real message should (ideally) not be indented.

Note that the message is sent using the UTF‑8 character encoding, so non-ASCII characters (such as ‘ö’ in the authors’ names) need no special encoding.

In addition to the complete example message, an example block update that provides relacement prices (a ‘P&A update’) is also included. Note that in a block update, blocks that remain unchanged are omitted entirely – only blocks that contain additional or updated data are included in the Product record. Contrarily, unchanged data within an updated block must still be included: the updated block must be complete.

Although the two examples are separate messages, multiple full records and multiple block updates can be freely mixed within a single ONIX message.

         <Text textformat="05"><p>Widely recognized as the among the greatest crime fiction ever written, this is the first of a series of stories that pioneered the police procedural genre. The series was translated into 35 languages, sold over 10 million copies around the world, and inspired writers from Henning Mankell to Jonathan Franzen.</p><p>Written in 1965, <cite>Roseanna</cite> is the work of Maj Sjöwall and Per Wahlöö – a husband and wife team from Sweden, and this volume has a new introduction to help bring their work to a new audience. The novel follows the fortunes of the detective Martin Beck, whose enigmatic and taciturn character has inspired countless other policemen in crime fiction.</p><p><cite>Roseanna</cite> begins on a July afternoon: the body of a young woman is dredged from a canal near Sweden’s beautiful Lake Vättern. Three months later, all that Police Inspector Martin Beck knows is that her name is Roseanna, that she came from Lincoln, Nebraska, and that she could have been strangled by any one of eighty-five people.</p><p>With its authentically rendered settings and vividly realized characters, and its command over the intricately woven details of police detection, <cite>Roseanna</cite> is a masterpiece of suspense and sadness.</p>​</Text>Multiple paragraphs

         <d104 textformat="05"><p>Widely recognized as the among the greatest crime fiction ever written, this is the first of a series of stories that pioneered the police procedural genre. The series was translated into 35 languages, sold over 10 million copies around the world, and inspired writers from Henning Mankell to Jonathan Franzen.</p><p>Written in 1965, <cite>Roseanna</cite> is the work of Maj Sjöwall and Per Wahlöö – a husband and wife team from Sweden, and this volume has a new introduction to help bring their work to a new audience. The novel follows the fortunes of the detective Martin Beck, whose enigmatic and taciturn character has inspired countless other policemen in crime fiction.</p><p><cite>Roseanna</cite> begins on a July afternoon: the body of a young woman is dredged from a canal near Sweden’s beautiful Lake Vättern. Three months later, all that Police Inspector Martin Beck knows is that her name is Roseanna, that she came from Lincoln, Nebraska, and that she could have been strangled by any one of eighty-five people.</p><p>With its authentically rendered settings and vividly realized characters, and its command over the intricately woven details of police detection, <cite>Roseanna</cite> is a masterpiece of suspense and sadness.</p>​</d104>Multiple paragraphs

A.3 List of all ONIX for Books XML tags

The tables show equivalent Reference names and Short tags, first in Reference name order, then in Short tag order. Note that in any one ONIX message, Reference names and Short tags cannot be mixed.

Around 20 tags marked ‘New in 3.0’ are merely renamed from very similar tags in earlier releases of ONIX, for reasons of consistency or to highlight minor changes in meaning – for example <SentDateTime> was previously <SentDate> and <PersonNameIdentifier> is now <NameIdentifier>.
