SPS: Serials Products and
Subscriptions - Version 0.92 (June 2008)
The
ONIX Serials Products and Subscriptions (SPS) format defines a family
of messages used for transmitting information about Serial Subscription
Products, with or without price information, and with or without
subscription information relating to a particular subscriber.
The four messages currently defined are:
- Product List
Unpriced. A list of
subscription products offered by a
publisher, subscription agent, online publisher, or content hosting
service, without price information.
- Product
List Priced.
A list of subscription products offered by a publisher, subscription
agent, online publisher, or content hosting service, including price
information.
- Product
Subscription
List. A list of
products subscribed to by a particular
subscriber or group of subscribers. It may or may not include
prices.
- Product
Subscriptions
Quote. A list of
subscription products with a price quote
offered to a particular subscriber.
Typically, the
sending organisation will be a publisher or subscription
agent. Recipients can include university or corporate
libraries, agents, consortia, or indeed a
“broadcast” customer base for priced product lists.
Version 0.92 is
currently being piloted and completely replaces version 0.91.
Revision
notes are included in the ONIX
SPS Overview Version 0.92 (PDF). On completion of the pilots and the
incorporation of any consequent changes, EDItEUR will issue a first
full
Release, to be numbered 1.0, after which every effort will be made to
maintain
upwards compatibility in future revisions.
