EDItEUR, established in 1991, is the authoritative body responsible for maintaining ONIX for Books, the international standard for metadata communication of the book publishing industry. Being expressly designed globally and not limited to any one language or the characteristics of a specific national book trade, ONIX makes it possible to deliver rich product information into the supply chain in a generally accepted format.
”EDItEUR commitment to maintaining its standards open, free and publicly available has been instrumental to our business”, says Stefan Åstrand Co-Founder and CTO of Langoon, ”ONIX makes our diverse and highly complex literature generally accessible to the entire book publishing industry and a substantial target market of migrant consumers. We are proud of now being part of the EDItEUR community and supporting the open standard’s growth and development into the future”.
