Additional comments:
B&T tests all ONIX files rigorously for structure and data quality before implementing into Production. Quality of data in ONIX message must be as good or better than information sent in prior format. During ONIX testing process B&T needs to continue receiving product data in extant format to ensure we stay current with publisher's new titles and updates.
