ONIX Serials Codelists Issue 6

The ONIX Serials Codelists file defines a set of coded data elements and their permitted values. The file is shared by all ONIX Serials XML Schemas. By defining coded data elements in a separate file, we are able to issue updates to the code lists independently of new releases of any of the formats. For this reason, the Codelists file carries an Issue number of its own.

The latest version of the Codelists file is automatically included whenever the XML Schema for any of the formats is downloaded, or it can be downloaded separately here:

Eye-readable ONIX Serials Codelists Issue 6 (HTML) (published May 2013)
Download ONIX Serials Codelists Issue 6 (XSD)
Download ONIX Serials Codelists Issue 6 (CSV) (comma-separated, Windows / ISO 8859-1 character set)
Download ONIX Serials Codelists Issue 6 (TXT) (comma-separated, Unicode character set)

Previous versions of the codelists are also still available. Documentation and schema files for various ONIX for Serials message formats have not yet all been updated, so Issue 5 of the codelists is temporarily downloadable here:

Eye-readable ONIX Serials Codelists Issue 5 (HTML) (published March 2012)
Download ONIX Serials Codelists Issue 5 (XSD) (published March 2012)

(Note that the Codelists XSD file must be held in the same folder as the XML Schema, and if you download version 5, the ‘5’ will need to be removed from the file name)
