BISG Webcast: ONIX 3.0 & Metadata for E-Books

In April 2009, EDItEUR announced the release of a major new version of the ONIX for Books standard: ONIX 3.0. This release of ONIX is the first since 2001 that is not backwards-compatible with its predecessors and, more importantly, provides a means for improved handling of digital products.

During this FREE 60-minute BISG Webcast, David Martin from EDItEUR's ONIX Support Team and Brian Green, Executive Director of the International ISBN Agency, will focus on how ONIX 3.0 provides new support for digital publishing, along with requirements for identifying ebooks in our industry's complex new supply chain. Along the way they will answer four key questions about ONIX 3.0:

How does ONIX 3.0 provide new support for digital publishing?What are the requirements for the standard identification of ebooks in the complex new supply chain?
What are other important benefits of ONIX 3.0?
How should publishers and other ONIX users respond to the new release?
