AccessOnix Added as Service for DPS Clients

To improve the visibility of Accessible ePub3, DPS now provides a "remediated" Onix record for every title converted to this format.
For accessible formats, there is a special set of standards for Onix records designated as "Codelist 196. More detail here.
DPS uses this "crosswalk" to add information from the ePub itself to the original record. 
The records (in xml format) are provided to clients with each Accessible ePub3 delivery, and found in the "Conversions Delivered" folder for the title.
Links are also provided in the title record on the client site.



See this article for more information on the "visibility" problem.
