ONIX for Bokbasen import

The specification on this page requires you to have a basic understanding of ONIX and aim to document the fields that are in use by Bokbasen and also additional validation rules that are requires, such as elements that are required by Bokbasen, but maybe not by the ONIX standard.

The complete Onix for books specification can be downloaded from Editeur: Onix for Books specification
