With ONIXEDIT Server Edition, You Are in Control

Keep your metadata organized and secured!

With ONIXEDIT Server Edition you are in control of your ONIX metadata. As the Server Administrator, you can define as many metadata catalogs as you want. Each catalog is a distinct and isolated ONIX metadata repository. Consequently, you can define:

• one catalog per metadata source (publisher, clients, supplier),
• working catalogs for your internal usage,
• different catalogs to classify your books and ebooks by subject or market,
• or any other purpose.

​For each catalog, you can even set Update Rules identifying which ONIX sections are allowed for update and which are untouchable. As well,  you can define users and their access rights (Search, Add, Modify, Delete) for each catalog.

Keep your hands on the wheel and drive your ONIX metadata safely on the road of success!
