SRN: Serials
Release Notification
Version 0.92
(May 2008)
The Serials Release Notification (SRN)
format defines a family of messages designed to support information exchanges
about the planned or confirmed publication or electronic availability of one or
more serial releases. The three messages currently defined are:
- ONIXSRNIssueNotice. Used to announce the physical publication date or online
availability date of issues of serial publications or supplements to monographs.
Version 0.91 included only this message.
- ONIXSRNContentItemDescription. Used to transmit information describing individual content
items (usually articles) in one or more releases. This message was
added in Version 9.2.
- ONIXSRNContentItemExtendedDescription. Used to transmit detailed information about individual
content items (usually articles) in one or more releases. This
message was added in Version 9.2.
Business applications for the
ONIXSRNIssueNotice message include notification that a serial item has been
published physically or made available online, notification of a change in the
expected date of an upcoming release, and advance notice of a combined release.
The ONIXSRNContentItemDescription message supports the provision of
table-of-contents alerts and notification of single-article releases. The ONIXSRNContentItemExtendedDescription
message supports distribution of article-level information suitable for
populating abstracting and indexing databases. Future extensions may
include notification of pattern changes and advance notification of publication
schedules.
Parties to the SRN exchanges will include publishers, content hosting services,
abstracting and indexing services, document-delivery agencies, subscription
agents, DOI registration agencies and libraries.
Version 0.92 is currently being piloted and completely replaces version 0.91.
Revision notes are included in the ONIX SRN 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.
