The ONIX recipient may embed the URL in a consumer facing-website (eg as the src attribute in an <img> link), and need not host an independent copy of the resource

Special attention should be paid to the ‘Last Updated’ <ContentDate> to ensure the independent copy of the resource is kept up to date
03 Embeddable application An application which is supplied in a form which can be embedded into a third-party webpage. As type 02, except the resource contains active content such as JavaScript, Flash, etc
