Over the last month we were joined by experts, Chris Saynor (EDItEUR), Lauren Stewart (BookNet Canada), and the Société de Gestion BTLF to discuss the latest developments and opportunities to improve metadata quality and consistency across the book supply chain. Through two TechForum sessions, the presentations offered an overview of the latest developments in ONIX and the subject classification system, Thema, including newly published best practices focused on highlighting content and contributors relating to Indigeneity and Indigenous Nations and peoples.
The recordings and the resources for both sessions can be found as follows:
