Webform for ONIX creation

Webform is an easy-to-use online tool that allows small operations to create and manage book metadata. It’s for small presses, unconventional publishers, museums, universities, self-published authors … anyone who wants to provide clean, accurate metadata about their books to the supply chain but may not have the resources to create complex ONIX files from scratch.
