Coverage - Enumeration & Chronology

SOLUTION or WHY ONIX SOH 1.1?• Automated updates of serials online holdings

coverage data from: – KnowledgeBase providers– Publishers / aggregators

• Sufficient level of enumeration and chronology• Reduced manual workload at library end• Update holding statements in OPACs / ERMs

ONIX SOH• ONline Information eXchange of Serials Online Holdings• A standard for communicating information about online serial

resources holdings• Communication via XML messages• SOH sources – examples:

– Knowledgebase providers / holdings update systems– Publishers / hosting services – Publication access management services (PAMS) – Subscription agencies

• SOH targets – examples:– Library OPACs– ERMs– OpenURL link servers

ONIX SOH 1.1• Version 1.1 (June 2007) includes the “ONIX for

Serials Coverage Statement”• Coverage Statement:– XML structure Included in ONIX for Serials messages – Both enumeration and chronology expressed – Simple or complex “statement of serials coverage”

online content hosting system • The coverage of a particular serial version included in a

subscription or offering

– Online coverage – standard & customer’s private• Chronology - by date• New: Enumeration - by volume, issue,

TDNet Implementation - ONIX SOH 1.1

• Since 2007 – vast efforts to collect serials enumeration data– Publishers– Aggregators– Vendors

• 2008 – 2009; working with EDItEUR to develop ONIX SOH 1.1 messages according to v. 1.1 schema

• June 2009: – Major publishers / vendors information include both

enumeration & chronology data • Examples – Elsevier, Springer, Wiley-BW, T&F, Sage,

– Acceptance by EDItEUR– TDNet “Holdings Manager” service available in ONIX SOH 1.1

Examples

Coverage Statement

Relationship with MARC 21 Format for Holdings Data (MFHD)

• ONIX coverage is nearly analogous to the Enumeration and Chronology fields (863-865) of MARC 21 holdings data format

• ONIX coverage statement may be re-expressed in MARC 21 without loss of information

• Not all MARC 21 statements can be expressed completely within an ONIX coverage statement.

TDNet Implementation - ONIX SOH 1.1

Further action items:• Extend enumeration data availability to more

titles and access options• Work with ERM providers / libraries on

successful implementation of SOH 1.1

How can ONIX SOH Version 1.1 be useful to libraries? Credit: Linda Miller and Rebecca Guenther, Library of Congress, ALA Midwinter 2009, Denver

• By expressing complete enumeration and chronology in a communication format that could be understood in MARC21 based systems.

• By providing a sufficient level of enumeration and chronology detail to be useful to patrons with known item searches that wish to match citation information in hand to the library’s electronic holdings.

• By supplying an unambiguous expression of holdings that can be parsed by machine and used for link resolution.

• By providing means to express and update holdings statements in such a way that reduces the workload in libraries since ONIX SOH can automatically update/replace serials holdings statements that appear in the library’s OPAC and/or in their electronic resource management system (ERMS).
