In April 2009, EDItEUR announced the release of a major new version of the ONIX for Books standard: ONIX 3.0. This release of ONIX is the first since 2001 that is not backwards-compatible with its predecessors and, more importantly, provides a means for improved handling of digital products.

During this 60-minute presentation, Richard Stark, Director of Product Data for Barnes & Noble, Inc. and Chair of BISAC’s Metadata Committee, will describe best practices for implementing ONIX for Books 3.0.
