ONIX record examples

Pre Processing

Before working directly with the metadata we must read the ONIX record. This is a common starting point for all techniques that allows us to query the record directly.

This algorithm takes the onix_record_as_text argument: a UTF-8 string representing the ONIX record.

To generate the internal representation, run the following steps:

1. LET record be textual representation of the ONIX record for the publication given onix_record_as_text.
2. LET onix be the DOM tree that results from parsing record using an XML DOM parser.
3. Return onix.

Check for Node

Many of the techniques rely on checking for the presence or absence of metadata in the ONIX record.

This algorithm takes:

• the onix argument: the internal representation of ONIX record (output of pre processing);
• the path argument: the XPATH of the node to check the presence of.

To check for node, run the following steps:

1. IF onix contains path: THEN return True.
2. ELSE return False.

Visual adjustments

This technique relates to Visual adjustments key information.

This algorithm takes the onix_record_as_text argument: a UTF-8 string representing the ONIX record.

Understanding the variables

all_textual_content_can_be_modified

If true it indicates that the code 36 of codelist 196 (All textual content can be modified) is present in the ONIX record, otherwise if false it means that the metadata is not present.

All textual content can be modified means that the digital publication does not restrict the ability of users to modify and reflow the display of any textual content to the full extent allowed by the reading system (i.e. to change the text size or typeface, line height and word spacing, colors).

is_fixed_layout

If true it indicates that the code E201 of codelist 175 (Fixed format) is present in the ONIX record, otherwise if false it means that the metadata is not present.

Fixed format means that digital publication is in fixed format (e.g. EPUB Fixed Layout).

Variables setup

1. LET onix be the result of calling pre processing given onix_record_as_text.
2. LET all_textual_content_can_be_modified be the result of calling check for node on onix, /ONIXMessage/Product/DescriptiveDetail/ProductFormFeature[ProductFormFeatureType = "09" and ProductFormFeatureValue = "36"].

Accessibility summary

This technique relates to Accessibility summary key information.

This algorithm takes the onix_record_as_text argument: a UTF-8 string representing the ONIX record.

Being human-written, the accessibility summary and addendum will appear in the original language of the publication. Therefore it is necessary of take care of setting up the correct language tag information.

Accessibility summary existed when no system exposed the computed accessibility metadata. With more and more systems displaying this information, most of the accessibility summary may be redundant. It may be advised to display only the accessibility addendum.

Understanding the variables

accessibility_summary

Returns the description of code 00 of codelist 196 (Accessibility summary) if present in the ONIX record, otherwise if false it means that the metadata is not present.

This means there is a human-written text containing a short explanatory summary of the accessibility of the product or the URL of a web page comprising such a summary. Summarizes the already existent information and may add information that the publisher could not express with the other codes.

lang_attribute_accessibility_summary

Returns the lang attribute of the node containing the accessibility_summary, or the lang attribute of the nearest ancestor.

This is the language code in which the text of the Accessibility summary was written.

accessibility_addendum

Returns the description of code 92 of codelist 196 (Accessibility addendum) if present in the ONIX record, otherwise if false it means that the metadata is not present.

This means there is a human-written text containing a short addendum to the accessibility detail of the product. It contains precise information that the publisher could not express with the other's codes.

lang_attribute_accessibility_addendum

Returns the lang attribute of the node containing the accessibility_addendum, or the lang attribute of the nearest ancestor.

This is the language code in which the text of the Accessibility addendum was written.

known_limited_accessibility

Returns the description of code 09 of codelist 196 (Inaccessible, or known limited accessibility) if present in the ONIX record, otherwise if false it means that the metadata is not present.

This means there is a human-written text containing details of and reasons for limitations on accessibility of an ebook.

lang_known_limited_accessibility

Returns the lang attribute of the node containing the known_limited_accessibility, or the lang attribute of the nearest ancestor.

This is the language code in which the text of the Inaccessible, or known limited accessibility was written.

language_of_text

Returns the value of nearest code 01 of codelist 22 (Language of text) if present in the ONIX record, otherwise if false it means that the metadata is not present.

This indicates the main language of the content and therefore the most probable language of accessibility summary and addendum.
