Have you gotten some answers to the questions?!
If not, ck here, http://www.editeur.org/ and http://www.bisg.org/ and for
what Onix is and the industry that uses it. Most Onix records are free.
I doubt that the library communities would use Onix for bib control as it
contains more info than what the bib data is.
LC provides xslt to convert Onix to MARCXml. So therešs way to load these
as entry point bib data, i.e. Acq record.
Hope this helps.
Regards,
