EDItEUR Releases ONIX 3.1.3 — Four Targeted Changes for a More International Metadata Standard

EDItEUR, the international organisation that maintains the ONIX book metadata standard, has released ONIX 3.1.3, a targeted update introducing four changes: a new structured TextSource element for clearer attribution of reviews and descriptive content; added contextual detail about people or entities featured in a book; adjustments to publisher and imprint name ordering to improve multilingual sorting; and support for transliteration across different writing systems, including a new textscript attribute enabling the same text to be represented in both native script and romanised form. EDItEUR recommends all ONIX 3.1 users migrate to version 3.1.3.
