ONIXEDIT is designed around a unique and novel concept. The architecture of ONIXEDIT allows editing of ONIX files without needing to be troubled by XML language and its rules, and also offers a powerful tool for transmission of your files to your business partners:



The usual steps in editing an ONIX file are:

• Opening an existing file or creating a new file.

• Adding a Product record for each book.

• For each book record, defining bibliographical, commercial, and promotional information.

• Adding, as needed, media files for each title (author’s picture, cover page, interview, extracts from the book, etc.)

• As the data are collected,ONIXEDIT informs you of missing information or of inputs which are invalid according to the requirements of ONIX, BTLF, BookNet, BISG, BIC, APA, AMAZON and EDItEUR. Only the formats needed by your trading partners are verified.

• Automatic transmission of media files to the ONIXEDIT portal in your private media space. Local references for your ONIX file such as "C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\My Documents\Projects\Book_102\PageCover.jpg", which would not be accessible by your trading partners are now automatically transformed into URLs which are now accessible on the Internet. Your pictures, videos, interviews, and book extracts are taken into ONIXEDIT, standardized, and filed in your private media space.

• Automatic transmission of ONIX files to each of your trading partners in their preferred format; for example, the same series of books can be transmitted to one partner in BookNet format and to another in BIC.

Not only do you benefit from a modern, efficient tool to save and standardize your book information, but also you now have the capacity to communicate with the biggest players in the chain of book sales, using the language they expect: ONIX.
