Import Formats for the BookMetaHub
What Types of Data Formats are Currently Supported on the Hub?
The import of available metadata records is easy! In just a few steps you will be able to import and find all requested records to your workspace and ready for enhancement or download.
Open the dropdown menu of your →My BookMetaHub and go to your →Dashboard.
On the →Dashboard are currently two import formats supported which you can choose:
-
Add metadata by DOI
You can easily add basic metadata for your books and chapters by submitting a list of DOIs (Crossref and Datacite accepted). Simply paste a list of DOIs into the request box or upload an excel sheet to query all metadata for your DOIs.
After your request is processed, we will send you a notification by e-mail.
-
Upload ONIX XML metadata
Alternatively, you can upload ONIX XMLs via the Dashboard. Currently, supported ONIX formats are 3.0 and 2.1. Please note that the readout for ONIX 3.0 might lead to better results for your metadata. This is due to the fact that the latter format is more standardized, which in return leads to a higher chance for a richer set of imported data.
After your request is processed, we will send you a notification by e-mail.
As the last step for both please select your →Publisher Workspace for all requested records to be imported to.
