ONIX 3.0
ONIX 3.0 is the current version of an XML-based standard for rich book metadata, providing a consistent way for publishers, retailers and their supply chain partners to communicate a wide range of information about their products. An ONIX record is a separate XML file that is sometimes packaged together with an ebook, and sometimes left separate, but either way, it is distributed alongside an ebook. It contains all kinds of metadata about a book, like title, author, edition, page count, etc. and a set of accessibility metadata.
Most ONIX Accessibility metadata is carried in the data element. This uses ONIX codelist 196 to specify particular accessibility options that are provided by the product. and Codelist 196 in ONIX provides for granular description of particular accessibility features of the e-book, and can also specify the e-book’s conformance with particular accessibility standards and provide links to further detail. ONIX does not describe reading system functionality. As well as , and and the relevant codes from List 81 are important to highlight content types in the e-book (text, images, audio and the like) that require mitigations for potential inaccessibility.
