Example: Mozart's 

Die Zauberflote

(The Magic Flute)

 would be eligible for an ISWC to

identify the work. The many printed scores would each qualify for ISMNs, the libretti and

their translations for ISTCs (and ISBNs for the publications thereof)

,

 a video of a

performance would receive an ISAN, a series of television programmes would qualify for a

V ISAN, and a sound recording of the opera an ISRC.

14.  ONIX

ONIX is the international standard for representing and communicating book industry and

serials and electronic product information in electronic form.  It consists of a content

specification (including data elements, tags, and code lists) and an XML DTD.

ONIX was developed and is being maintained by EDItEUR jointly with Book Industry

Communication and the Book Industry Study Group, and with user groups in countries

whose book trades and books in print services have adopted ONIX.  These countries

include the United States, the United Kingdom, France, Germany, Australia, Canada and

the Republic of Korea. 

ONIX has been mapped to MARC21 by the Library of Congress and to UNIMARC by The

British Library.  It is being used by some national libraries to receive product information

from publishers for Cataloguing in Publication (CIP) purposes or to enhance Online Public

Access Catalogues (OPACs).
