Our cloud-based Metadata Management System enables publishers to maintain and automatically export information about books to all relevant wholesalers, metadata vendors and online booksellers. With a single repository for all information ensures that it will always be disseminated correctly.

All incremental updates are sent to data recipients daily in ONIX or in proprietary formats via ftp. A module for downloading publisher's data as MARC records is also available.

All software systems have been created turnkey ready and are hosted in our data centre.

The Title Editor is a cloud-based module from our Data Hub: the user-friendly web interface enables the administration and editorial enrichment of productive database(s) with unique content. As a result, publishers and booksellers offer their customers the added value of unique and information-rich search and order platforms. For example, web shop managers at Sack Fachmedien implement their unique content strategy by adding sales-promoting information to the title data. Simultaneously, the search engine ranking for websites and webshops are optimized.

The Title Editor can be individually adapted to field level for maintenance. An unlimited number of styles can be set up for your Title Editor.

Similar to the Austrian-based publisher and specialist supplier MANZ, our editorial team can alternatively enrich title data with subject classifications and keywords.

All software systems have been created turnkey ready and are hosted in our data centre.

We generate MARC records and supply them via ftp to library suppliers and publishers.

Library Suppliers

MARC records are vital to library suppliers since they are often requested by their library customers in parallel with an order record. With the Approval Plan System, library suppliers can offer their customers a corresponding MARC service.

Libraries & Consortia

Libraries have the option to be supplied directly with MARC records via ftp or direct data feed. MARC records can also be supplied directly as part of our Approval Plan System for library consortia.

Publishers

MARC records are important for publishers and their entry into the library market. Only as a MARC record a publication can be integrated into library’s catalogue.

Publishers have the option of purchasing MARC records from NEWBOOKS for their metadata dissemination process or for their platform/eLibrary.

The metadata standard MARC (Machine Readable Catalogue) is an international data format released by the Library of Congress which libraries use to import records directly into their catalogues.

Hundreds of thousands of records are exchanged in ONIX format every day. Therefore, it is becoming increasingly important for all industry participants to establish the best possible data quality and short processing time. Our ONIX import system provides this service.

Features and Benefits

• The system imports ONIX 2.1, ONIX 3 and Excel/CSV
• Swift data import and automatic data corrections
• Connectivity for any existing product database
• Proven success through many years of use, e.g. Zeitfracht, Umbreit, VLB, etc.

The metadata standard ONIX (ONline Information eXchange) is a data format for exchanging bibliographic data. The standard is coordinated by the international standardization committee EDItEUR in London and is continuously developed by the IG Produktmetadaten in the German bookseller association. NEWBOOKS Solutions is a permanent member of IG Produktmetadaten.

The ONIX format is the relevant standard either for initial or incremental updates for the exchange of product metadata between partners in the book trade. With the ONIX 3 format, important information about DRM, bundles and accompanying marketing materials can be integrated into the data exchange.

Features and Benefits

• Any data transformations when exporting
• Export according to best practice rules
• Seamless connection to any database
• Proven success through many years of use, e.g. Umbreit, Zeitfracht, etc.
