Thanks and best wishes with your software and your books. I'm going to the IDPF meeting in New York in 10 days, so I'll learn more there. (It presumably was considered, but for some reason not pursued.) But no one appears to have considered making it a part of ePub 3. Amazon insists on receiving ONIX as does Apple for the iBookstore.Ĭurrently they're separate, and ONIX is very unevenly supported among smaller publishers (although everyone agrees that it is THE standard for book metadata). and in an all-digital world it makes sense - to me at least - to keep metadata in the same place as 'content' data. Metadata is essential to discoverability, to ecommerce, to librarians, etc. I think that's true for many, and reflects an odd disconnect in publishing. Interesting that it never appeared on your radar before.

However, an epub file is simply a zip file with a different extension, so you could certainly put the ONIX info in a file and put it inside the epub file. So, I don't know the answer to your question. I hadn't heard of ONIX, and after a short amount of googling, I am of the opinion that ONIX is a completely separate standard of ebook metadata. Updated the title file-as in EPUB3 to use refines with property='file-as'.Latest Update: The current version is 1.9.1 If you discover any bugs, please use the issues list on GitHub: There is also an advanced pane which contains some batch operations and the ability to view and edit the OPF and TOC.NCX files.You can link to an external viewer (like the one in the Calibre program folder) if you want to view the EPUB file itself.There are (mainly third-party) plugins for e.g. The program allows you to edit the metadata of EPUB files, with a number of buttons that allow the user to do a number of common tasks with one click. Sigil is a free, open-source and cross-platform editing program for e-books in the epub format, enabling users to create/edit book pages, table of content, metadata, styles, etc.But if you are like me, and only use Calibre for ebook conversions, then this might be of interest.

If you use Calibre as your book library software, then you probably don't need my program.

The latest version can be downloaded here I wanted to let everyone know about a program previously on Google Code but now on GitHub:
