Training for an empowered, informed supply chain
Advanced ONIX for Books
WHO IS THE COURSE AIMED AT:
The Advanced ONIX for Books course is aimed at staff with management responsibility for metadata, either in IT, marketing or production within a publisher, or in similar roles in distribution and retailing.
COURSE LEVEL:
Delegates should previously have attended the BIC training course, "ONIX: Essentials" (formerly known as the Bibliographic Metadata & ONIX training course), or have extensive experience with ONIX gained over several years. It is not aimed primarily at developers – there is relatively little technical content – but developers wishing to gain broad background knowledge will benefit from attending.
COURSE CONTENT:
1. Identifiers and core semantics
- WMI stack in indecs, WEMI in FRBR, comparison with other stacks
- Class inheritance, where in the stack does each data element live
- Class diagrams and database schemas
- SKUs and proprietary GTINs
- ISNI and other name identifiers
- ISTC and proprietary work IDs
2. ONIX for e-books
- The basic differences
- Can I do...?
- Accessibility
- Rentals
3. ONIX 2.1 to ONIX 3 migration
- Why does ONIX 3.0 exist (rather than 2.2)
- What current data is okay, what are you likely to be missing
- The key parts of a migration (what parts of the message change)
- Block updates
4. ONIX quirks
- Barcode for North America
- Imprint ID for Amazon
5. Question & Answer session
- (Bring your own ONIX file...)
6. Practical demos (spread throughout the day)
- How to validate ONIX messages
- Why character sets and encodings are important
- Tag name conversion

He led the development of bibliographic and digital asset management systems, and was involved with the launches of many recent HarperCollins digital initiatives including e-audio, e-books, and print-on-demand programs.

Organizer
Book Industry Communication
BIC is an independent organisation set up and sponsored by the Publishers Association, Booksellers Association, the Chartered Institute of Library and Information Professionals and the British Library to promote supply chain efficiency in all sectors of the book world through e-commerce and the application of best practice, standard processes and procedures. We have excellent relationships with all major standards bodies and we work closely with the Book Industry Study Group in the US.
BIC unites all sectors of the publishing industry, so whether you're a publisher, on-line retailer, "bricks & mortar" retailer, distributor, library (academic or public), wholesaler, digital partner, literary agent, conversion house, or any combination of these, we're here for you. We offer a "one stop shop" experience, impartial advice and support on anything & everything related to the Supply Chain (digital and/or physical) and we always love to hear from our members...and anyone who might like to become a member. Your feedback is invaluable to us.
We want to hear your ideas, what you're working on, what's challenging you right now, and what changes/developments/projects etc you think the industry might benefit from - so that we can work on your behalf to deliver solutions.
Finally, as an FYI: without neglecting the printed book world, BIC will now be focussing an increasing amount of its energy on work in the Digital Supply Chain.
