Chapters are becoming a more substantial part of the OAPEN Library’s collection and we are updating our metadata feeds accordingly. All data feeds (ONIX, MARC XML, MARC21, Excel, CSV, TSV) will contain full metadata of books and also of chapters, including the corresponding books. The ONIX data feeds are compliant to the specifications of
EDItEUR; the MARC data feeds are compliant to the specifications of
Library of Congress.
Furthermore, the ONIX 2.1 data feed will be terminated. ONIX 2.1 was fully supported by EDItEUR until the end of 2014 but users of 2.1 are strongly advised to migrate to version 3.0.
On 2 February 2017, the ONIX 3.0, MARC XML and MARC21 data feed will be restructured and the ONIX 2.1 feed will be terminated. The Excel, CSV, and TSV data feed have been restructured previously.
All metadata feeds are available at
https://oapen.org/content/metadata. The metadata is licensed under CC0, allowing copying, modifications and distribution, even for commercial purposes and all without asking permission.
