Aims and objectives:

Since its inception in April 2006, the Transfer Working Group has been identifying and mapping the various data and general information components that come into play when a title moves publisher. The aim is to create a central repository containing mandatory and optional fields that should be completed by publishers when titles move between them.

Building on the work of ALPSP and STM, the Working Group is also framing a set of high level Guidelines and a Code of Practice that publishers will be asked to adhere to as closely as possible when involved in title transactions.
