Focus provides for the full implementation of the ONIX message file. However, the requirements of most recipients of ONIX are met by the basic data elements.

Record Reference | ISBN-10 | ISBN-13 | Title | Format | BIC subject codes | BIC version | Imprint | Publisher | Publication Date | City/Town of Publication | Country of Publication | Number of pages / Extent | Availability Status Code | Price | Territorial Rights

Basic data elements ensure that the title record meets the requirements for ONIX validation. Only titles which meet ONIX validation get included in the output ONIX message file. All the Basic Data Elements can be updated on the general product window. The complete set of ONIX data elements are however accessible for update on the ONIX Records page.
