bea2014 - understanding new developments in metadata
DESCRIPTION
You may have heard about ONIX 3.0, THEMA, or ISNI, but are unsure how these terms relate to you or your publishing program. Do you have to convert your ONIX 2.1 to 3.0 now? If you do not have ONIX should you start with 3.0? Is ISNI mandatory to sell to major retailers? If I assign BISAC codes do I also need to assign THEMA codes? This panel of experts on these new metadata developments, moderated by Laura Dawson of Bowker, will share the key points. Attendees will learn about implementation dates and where they can gain assistance in learning more about these new metadata standards. Moderator: Richard Stark, Director of Product Data, Barnes & Noble Speakers: Laura Dawson, Product Manager, Identifier Services, Bowker; Chris Saynor, Metadata Manager and Project Manager, GiantChair; Kempton Mooney, Senior Analyst of Market Research and Business Development, Hachette Book GroupTRANSCRIPT

What Is ISNI• ISO Standard, published in 2012• International Standard Name Identifier• Numerical representation of a name
– 16 digits– Assigned to public figures, contributors of content –
researchers, authors, musicians, actors, publishers, research institutions – and subjects of that content (if they are people or institutions).
– Example: 0000 0004 1029 5439

How Does ISNI Registration Work• Publisher submits names for assignment through a Registration
Agency• RA works with the publisher to ensure the data feed is well-
formatted, and sends that feed to the Assignment Agency• AA assigns as many ISNIs to the names in the feed as it can, using
complex algorithms and business rules that evolve with each feed• AA returns a file of names with ISNIs attached to them
– This may not be the full file of names– Ambiguous names are held for review by Quality Team– QT assignments and other exceptions (assignments as a result
of improvements to the algorithm) are returned to RA quarterly– Process is not instant. Assignment may be immediate if the name
and other information is unique, but frequently assignments take a week or two.

ONIX. A history.
With the growth of the internet and e-commerce in the 1990s there was a compelling need to create a standard digital format to communicate book information.
The goal was to create a universal, international format with which publishers large and small could exchange information about their books.

• Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra; 29 September 1547 (assumed) – 22 April 1616) was a
Spanish novelist, poet, and playwright. His magnum opus, Don Quixote, considered to be
the first modern European novel, is a classic of Western literature, and is regarded
amongst the best works of fiction ever written. His influence on the Spanish language
has been so great that the language is often called la lengua de Cervantes ("the language
of Cervantes"). He was dubbed El Príncipe de los Ingenios ("The Prince of Wits").
• Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra (Alcalá de Henares,29 de septiembre de 1547 – Madrid,
22 de abril de 1616) fue un soldado, novelista, poeta y dramaturgo español.Es
considerado una de las máximas figuras de la literatura española y universalmente
conocido por haber escrito Don Quijote de la Mancha, que muchos críticos han descrito
como la primera novela moderna y una de las mejores obras de la literatura universal,
además de ser el libro más editado y traducido de la historia, sólo superado por la Biblia.
Se le ha dado el sobrenombre de «Príncipe de los Ingenios».

Diving Deeper: Technical specs• Only a Subject Category is mandatory; Qualifiers are optional.• The first Subject Category entered is the primary subject.• Thema is recognized in ONIX, and can be sent as part of any ONIX 2.* and
ONIX 3.* messages, using standard ONIX practice for subject classification metadata.
• In product records and message formats (such as ONIX), only the code is required to be communicated.
• There is no defined upper limit of the number of Subject Category values or Qualifier values that may be assigned.
• It is expected that a maximum of 10 of each type would sufficiently cover all reasonable circumstances.
• Systems designers working with systems which require limits to be placed on data element lengths and/or number of occurrences are advised to provide for the full length of codes and recommended maximum number of occurrences. 109
