Accessibility Metadata in ONIX: Advice worth reading from EDItEUR

BookNet Canada
September 6, 2024
ONIX, Standards & Metadata

To support their detailed ONIX documentation, international standards organization EDItEUR releases Application Notes. These notes are short white papers that look in-depth at a single ONIX topic that users are asking about or that EDItEUR is aware can be problematic.

You can see and download the full list of Application Notes here, but we thought we'd take the opportunity to highlight a new release, Accessibility metadata in ONIX (Advanced), for your reading pleasure.

This important Application Note note is, as its name suggests, a more advanced document that supplements the existing application note on Accessibility metadata in ONIX, which has been available for several years. Readers are advised to familiarize themselves with the basic Application Note before tackling the advanced version. 

Unusually, the new Application Note has been published as a draft, as it’s long and relatively complex and EDItEUR would like to gather feedback on this initial version. Are there other aspects of ONIX and accessibility that should be added? Should any of the text be simplified or expanded? Please send any comments or suggestions on the document to info@editeur.org.

We endorse the Calls to Action from the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada (PDF) and support an ongoing shift from gatekeeping to spacemaking in the book industry.
