• Latest release is version 2.0, which introduces coverage of ebooks; adds many new elements and codes which have been requested by user groups; and makes some structural changes which will enable coverage to be extended more widely to non-book media, and facilitate the structured description of product content, including book tables of contents. ONIX E-publication Type codes (available at http://www.editeur.org/onix.html) are an essential part of the description of ebooks. Because of the speed of change in this area, they are being maintained and updated separately from the rest of Release 2.0.
