Subject

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 transitio

EUDR, FSC, PEFC, carbon emission

According to EUDR, provenance of raw material source plot must be stated using GPS coordinates. Publishers are expected to add both an identifier for a Due Diligence Record in the EU registry (DDS) and details of provenance of raw material for cover and body of the product.

Guide

Codes from list 79 Product form feature type identifies what type of information is sent in other subfields of ProductFormFeature.

Codes for FSC and PEFC certification: 30-36

Codes for carbon emission: 41-46

Codes for EUDR: 47-50

Collection (Norw. forlagsserie)

CollectionType is used to indicate what type of collection is described in the metadata.

Support for code 11 for identifiyng publisher’s collections will be added.

Publisher’s collections are bibliograhpic collections defined and identified by a publisher, often used for marketing purposes, and often with a distinct design style. The books in the collection does not necessarily have a specific order, shared subject or autorship.

Collections where the books in the collection have a shared subject, narrative or authorship, are identified by collection type 10. This collection type is independent of the publisher, and will be added as matadata to all editions of a book.

This constraint will be added to the Onix-records in Epub Usage Constraint.

Onix 3.1

In February 2023 the Onix Steering Committee agreed that in addition to adding new features to Onix, various data elements that were deprecated, plus the <Gender> tag were to be removed. This necessitated the labelling of the revision as release 3.1.

Aside from the removal of the deprecated elements and <Gender>, these updates are all
optional and fully backwards-compatible.

Bokbasen will do a revision of Onix both to and from Bokbasen, to make sure that the records are compatible with version 3.1

The deprecated elements has originally not been supported by Bokbasen, and the upgrade to Onix 3.1 should not cause problems for customers of Bokbasen.
