Introduction
To meet the customers demands for more metadata, we are releasing some changes at the end of 2024 / start of 2025. Note: Some of those are also breaking changes. Check the time-schedule.
⚠️ We need your feedback by 20 October 2024 on when changes marked "critical change" can be handled.
If we do not receive feedback, this is interpreted as the changes being handled by you, and we follow the set schedule.
General note about compatibility
All changes are compatible with Onix 3.0 (covered by existing schema), and should therefore not break anything. We expect that customers will always handle that more and more fields are populated (as long as they are in the schema.
Introducing a new export-endpoint (v2)
When we introduce Onix 3.1 we see that we need a new endpoint to not break existing integrations.
All the new features will be available from export-endpoint “v2”. See dokumentation ONIX
| Note |

Onix Export v1 - end of life We want all our customers to move to v2 to get all the new features, including Onix 3.1. v1 is now deprecated and will be removed mid-summer 2025 |

The Subject element contains classification from several different schemes.
Bokbasen will deprecate two proprietary vocabularies for literary form and genres, and replace them with terms from the official Norwegian thesaurus on genre and form (NTSF). The thesaurus is provided by the National Library of Norway.
All records will be updated with terms and URIs from NTSF.
Terms from NTSF will be supported in records from Bokbasen only.
Terms from proprietary vocabularies and NTSF will be included in records from Bokbasen in parallell to facilitate this transition
