Thanks and best wishes with your software and your books. I'm going to the IDPF meeting in New York in 10 days, so I'll learn more there.

(It presumably was considered, but for some reason not pursued.) But no one appears to have considered making it a part of ePub 3. Amazon insists on receiving ONIX as does Apple for the iBookstore.Ĭurrently they're separate, and ONIX is very unevenly supported among smaller publishers (although everyone agrees that it is THE standard for book metadata). The software limits video files formats to AVI, MOV, and QT. PageEdit - XHTML editor PageEdit is a WYSIWYG XHTML editor intended as a Sigil Companion app. On the homepage, the program has a simple drag-and-drop window so you can get started fast. Sigil was designed to make it easy to create great ebooks using the EPUB format. and in an all-digital world it makes sense - to me at least - to keep metadata in the same place as "content" data. GroupDocs is a simple, easy-to-use online metadata editor for video, documents, audio, and images. Metadata is essential to discoverability, to ecommerce, to librarians, etc. I think that's true for many, and reflects an odd disconnect in publishing. Interesting that it never appeared on your radar before. It's just that no current program would know what to do with it!
#Best epub metadata editor zip file#
However, an epub file is simply a zip file with a different extension, so you could certainly put the ONIX info in a file and put it inside the epub file. So, I don't know the answer to your question. I hadn't heard of ONIX, and after a short amount of googling, I am of the opinion that ONIX is a completely separate standard of ebook metadata.

If you discover any bugs, please use the issues list on GitHub: The following ebook formats are supported. You can also copy values from the book card by clicking on the 'Set from Book Card' arrows near each field. To rewrite metadata just enter new values and press OK.

The program allows you to edit the metadata of EPUB files, with a number of buttons that allow the user to do a number of common tasks with one click.But if you are like me, and only use Calibre for ebook conversions, then this might be of interest. If you use Calibre as your book library software, then you probably don't need my program. The latest version can be downloaded here I wanted to let everyone know about a program previously on Google Code but now on GitHub:
