In 2017, BISG asked the ONIX International Steering committee to reactive the ONIX 2.1 list for updates. In exchange, the ONIX committee requested BISG create a plan to try to transition the North American marketplace to ONIX 3.0. Part of that plan is the three part metadata summit series: the first focusing on publishers; the second on recipients; and the final discussion to meet and discuss joint issues and solutions. 

This first full-day event will focus on discussing the problems and needs for publishers in the metadata supply chain with a goal of creating better metadata for everyone. Continental breakfast and lunch will be provided. Registration for this event is now open. We welcome both members and non-members to participate in this discussion. As of May 11, the agenda is:
