ONIX the book metadata exchange standard?

If that ONIX, then a lot of mapping or crosswalking could be done between
the ONIX book vocabulary which is the ONIX codelists.  The codelists
provide the semantic unambiguous meaning of narrow types and a few broader
types.  Many or nearly all of the codes could also be mapped to something
like Wikidata Entities, if someone hasn't done so already.

                    {
                        "CodeValue": "03",
                        "CodeDescription": "GTIN-13",
                        "CodeNotes": "GS1 Global Trade Item Number,
formerly known as EAN article number (13 digits, without spaces or
hyphens)",
                        "IssueNumber": 0,
                        "ModifiedNumber": 9
                    },

And even particular CodeListNumber's are really just narrow types also.
Like:
            {
                "CodeListNumber": 13,
                "CodeListDescription": "Collection identifier type",
                "IssueNumber": 0,

Which is a specific narrower type of the Schema.org/identifier
<https://schema.org/identifier> property values.

You would definitely want to coordinate with someone at the OCLC (Like
Carol Jean Godby) since they have done a lot of the mapping work against
various services and formats (like ONIX to MARC21 etc back in the day.

<https://www.oclc.org/content/dam/research/publications/library/2012/2012-04.pdf>
and
recently Linked Data.


Besides the Onix codelists, the XML data elements of the ONIX specification
could certainly also be mapped.  Quick Easy Examples:
<Contributor>
<PersonName>
<AlternativeName>
etc.

Where you store or how you create the maps in whatever format you desire
probably has the biggest impact on society.  You'd want to choose a format
that that any person or org could consume and apply to their own publishing
database metadata, in order to make it really useful for the entire book
industry.

Hope this gives you a starting primer and answered at least partially some
of your questions.
