ONIX metadata
ONIX metadata is required for whole-book OxChapML and OxEncyclML documents. It is not required for
First Proofs
XML, or for documents written to other DTDs, and is not required in Chunk First
XML (e.g.
documents that are part of the chapter/article first workflow).
Add ONIX metadata by running the Add ONIX
script that OUP provides. This script connects to OUPs metadata database
using FTP, downloads the metadata for the title and then insert it into the XML. The script relies on the
id attribute of the root book element being in the correct format in order to
determine the ISBN of the book.
To run Add ONIX
:
- Go to https://probity.oup.com/qc-qa/index.php

The content model for the ONIXMessage element is defined in the ONIX DTD (version 2.0), a module of OxChapML.
