The
ONIX for Serials
Coverage Statement is an XML structure capable of carrying simple or
complex statements of holdings of serial resources, in paper or
electronic form, to be included in ONIX for Serials messages for a
variety of applications; for example, to express:
- The holdings of a particular serial version by a
library
- The coverage of a particular serial version supplied
by an online content
hosting system
- The coverage of a particular serial version included
in a subscription or offering
The
coverage composite supports the expression of both enumeration and
chronology.
The coverage composite may also be used to express holdings or coverage in
XML structures other than those specified in ONIX for Serials.
The Coverage XML Schema is a formal XML definition of the coverage
composite. It is not designed to be used on its own, but is being
published separately from the message formats in which it is used as an
aid to implementation.
Draft Version 0.9 was made
available for review and piloting through September 2007 and is now considered available for general use. Please
