Changes for ONIX 3.0.7.pdf October 31, 2019 adds a new new Block
- This is an addition of a new Block 7 Promotional details and it has new tags assigned as P.27
- It's placement in the ONIX tree is between Block 2 (Marketing & collateral) and before Block 3 (Content)
- The placement is logical as it's about book promotion and comes after marketing & collateral but there's no easy way to avoid it be out of numerical order as a block or P number.
- As expected the Block PromotionDetail cannot repeat (only Block 6 Product supply can repeat to allow for multiple market support) but it contains the PromotionalEvent composite that can repeat.
- This "Events" section is specifically about promotional events – book signings, author tours, media appearance – and transmitting information in advance of the event (The Block 1 P.8 Event section is for books about Events or Conferences)
- The Promotional Event composite can repeat for different events and each event has to have at least one composite but can contain multiple dates in an Event Occurrence section. The above documentation and the ONIX manual provide a full explanation.
