Indigo-friendly XML Exports from BiblioShare Webform
BiblioShare and CataList also accept <BASICMainSubject> so this change will not affect your export workflows to these services.

We've made a few improvements to BiblioShare Webform based on great feedback from publishers who use the tool. We've added new fields to give you broader access to the ONIX standard and – for you CataList users – to make some data easier to transfer to BNC CataList. We've also added new selection functionality to help you customize your exports.
- New CataList-friendly ONIX Fields
- Additional Subject Schemes
- Select and Export Multiple Titles

Webform now has several new fields that correspond to fields available in BNC CataList. This should hopefully make life a little easier for folks who use Webform to generate data for display on CataList. For those who don't use CataList, these fields will still come in handy because they are often requested by retailers.

Publishers can now identify up to three related products for a single record. These changes can be seen in the Related Product tab, as shown below:
...
The <RelatedProduct> composite in ONIX allows publishers to identify relationships between products and to expose the nature of these relationships to their donwstream partners. For example, let's say you're creating a record for the hardcover version of Super Awesome Title!. You can link this record to alternate formats for Super Awesome Title! by adding the different formats as different related products. Other useful ways to link your records is by relating comparable titles or a single author's titles to one another.

Expected ship date (also known as "expected availability date" or "release date") allows you to specify the date on which shipping from the supplier to retailers is expected to begin or resume. This data element allows you to provide further instruction when a product is currently unavailable. For example, if Super Awesome Title! has a Product Availability code of "31 - Out of Stock", then you can provide fuller information about when this product will be back in stock by entering an Expected Ship Date.
A field for Expected Ship Date has been added to the Supply Detail tab, as seen below:

Your promotions efforts can impact initial buys of your books. Keep your downstream partners current about this information by including it in your ONIX feeds.
The new Promotion Campaign field in the Prize tab allows you to enter free text to describe your promotions efforts for the title.

We have added support for two up and coming subject schemes in the Subject & Audience tab.

Thema is a new global subject classification system for books that is especially suited for international trade. We recommend using it in addition to BISAC because it serves as a common language for when you're dealing with partners whose markets don't use BISAC. It is a flexible standard that provides more granular classification for every distinct national market. This granularity is especially useful in the Canadian context as it provides a large variety of geographical and cultural qualifiers that can be used with main subject headings. Webform does not currently support the use of qualifiers but it will do so in the future.
For more information on Thema, please visit the EDItEUR website.

Keywords are words or phrases that describe a book's content and are especially geared to trading with web-based partners who could potentially use them to power search ability on their sites. Keywords do not follow a structured scheme like BISAC or Thema and so offer a large amount of customization when it comes to classifying your books. We recommend using keywords in addition to BISAC and Thema.
Keywords should not repeat titles, contributors, BISACs or other terms that are already present in your metadata. Instead, they should be used to fill in the gaps. Separate your keywords with semi-colons and keep your total character count in this Webform field to a maximum of 250 (including semi-colons).

You can now export selected multiple titles to XML or BNC BiblioShare. Simply use the handy check boxes beside every title to select the necessary titles and export them using the Import/Export tab as per usual. The resulting export will be limited to the titles that you selected.
