List 1: Notification or update type

Last updated in issue 42
Value Description Notes Issue number Modified in Issue
01 Early notification Use for a complete record issued earlier than approximately six months before publication 0
02 Advance notification (confirmed) Use for a complete record issued to confirm advance information approximately six months before publication; or for a complete record issued after that date and before information has been confirmed from the book-in-hand 0
03 Notification confirmed on publication Use for a complete record issued to confirm advance information at or just before actual publication date, usually from the book-in-hand, or for a complete record issued at any later date 0 11
04 Update (partial) In ONIX 3.0 only, use when sending a ‘block update’ record. A block update implies using the supplied block(s) to update the existing record for the product, replacing only the blocks included in the block update, and leaving other blocks unchanged – for example, replacing old information from Blocks 4 and 6 with the newly-received data while retailing information from Blocks 1–3 and 5 untouched. In previous ONIX releases, and for ONIX 3.0 using other notification types, updating is by replacing the complete record with the newly-received data 0 42
05 Delete Use when sending an instruction to delete a record which was previously issued. Note that a Delete instruction should NOT be used when a product is cancelled, put out of print, or otherwise withdrawn from sale: this should be handled as a change of Publishing status, leaving the receiver to decide whether to retain or delete the record. A Delete instruction is used ONLY when there is a particular reason to withdraw a record completely, eg because it was issued in error 0
08 Notice of sale Notice of sale of a product, from one publisher to another: sent by the publisher disposing of the product 2
09 Notice of acquisition Notice of acquisition of a product, by one publisher from another: sent by the acquiring publisher 2
88 Test update (Partial) ONIX 3.0 only. Record may be processed for test purposes, but data should be discarded when testing is complete. Sender must ensure the <RecordReference> matches a previously-sent Test record 26
89 Test record Record may be processed for test purposes, but data should be discarded when testing is complete. Sender must ensure the <RecordReference> does not match any previously-sent live product record 26
