3、American National Standard ANSI/NISO 239.9-1992, but is included for information only.) The revision to this standard was approved by the membership of the National Infor- mation Standards Organization (NISO) in 1991. The changes made from the 1984 revi- sion to this standard address the concerns of
4、 those who provided comments and take into account the 1991 discussions about the International Standard Serial Number (ISSN) held by Directors of the International Serials Data System. The scope statement and its section title have been revised. The word “use“ in the first sentence was changed to “
5、presentation“ to more accurately represent that the standard applies to the structure and printing and display of the ISSN. Although the ISSN is used widely in a variety of applications for serials, the standards purpose is to prescribe how the ISSN appears on the item or in displays and to designat
6、e the authority for administra- tion. Section 3.2.2 was added to stress that new ISSN assignments are made for title changes. Although the language about title changes has been in the standard, differentiat- ing it in a separate section provides added emphasis. Section 4 was restructured and incorpo
7、rates comments made by those who wished to elaborate on and clarify the relationship of ISSN to other codes. In addition, the section on presentation specifies a priority for printing the ISSN and suggests locations for its dis- play in non-print formats. The language describing the centrai authorit
8、y has been expanded and specific func- tions have been included in Appendix B. Following NISO Board policy, a statement on a maintenance agency also has been added as Section 6. Julia Blixrud, Head, National Serials Data Program, Library of Congress, was respon- sible for developing this revision. S

Scope and Field of Application. This standard defines the structure and presentation of a standard code for the unique identificat
20、ion of serial publications: the International Standard Serial Number (ISSN). The code is intended solely for the identification of a serial publication and is assigned to the registered form of that serials title. The standard also designates a centrai authority for administration of the code (see S
21、ection 5). 2. Definition of Serial. In this standard a serial is defined as a publication on any medium issued in succes- sive parts, usually having numerical or chronological designations, and intended to be continued indefinitely2 3. Format and Characteristics of the ISSN 3.1. Format. An ISSN is c
22、omposed of seven digits plus an eighth check digit. The check digit provides for error detection and is calculated as outlined in Appendix A. A single form of presentation shall be employed when the ISSN is written or printed. The code shall be preceded by the code identifier (“ISSN) and shall appea
23、r as two groups of four digits separated by a hyphen as in the following example: ISSN 0084-9243 The hyphen functions in this format as an aid to visual recognition, thereby facilitat- ing the avoidance of error. 3.2. Characteristics of the ISSN. 3.2.1. Uniqueness. A one-to-one correspondence exists
24、 between each assigned ISSN and the serial title with which it is registered; for each ISSN there is only one serial titie and for each serial title there is only one ISSN. At the time of assignment by the central authority, an ISSN is registered for a stan- dardized form of title called the “key ti
25、tle,“ which is derived from the title information appearing in the serial? 1. 2. The abbreviation “ISSN denotes the singular and plural forms, according to context. The definition of senai is a slightly modified version of the definition in international Standard IS0 3297-1986. (Docummation - Lntema

When the key title of
27、a serial changes, a new ISSN is regis- tered for the new key title.4 3.23. Permanency of Assignment. The relationship between an JSSN and a se- rial title, once established through registration, is permanent. Once registered, an ISSN is not reassigned. If it is necessary U, cancel an ISSN assignment
28、, that ISSN is permanently retired. 4. Location and Presentation of the ISSN. 4.1. Presentation on publication. See Section 3.1 for format of presentation. Inclusion of an ISSN in advertising matter for serials in all formats is strongly encour- aged. Serials issued with accompanying parts should di
29、splay the ISSN on each component Part. 4.1.1. Print publications. The ISSN shall be printed in a prominent position on or in each serial issue (in this order of preference): front cover, title page, caption, mast- head, back cover, other pages. 4.1.2. Non-print publications. The ISSN shall be displa
30、yed on accessible, eye- readable portions of non-print formats (container, label, fiche header, title screen, etc.). 4.2. Presentation of two ISSN. When a publication carries both a main series and subseries title, the ISSN for both should appear on the serial. The ISSN should be distin- guished eit
31、her by adding the key title or abbreviated key title after the relevant number, or by printing the ISSN as closely as possible to the relevant titles. When a serial contains or distributes another serial as an insert, the ISSN for the insert should be printed on its title page or other page of the i
32、nsert as appropriate. 4.3. Presentation with ISBN! If a serial issue carries an ISBN as well as an ISSN (a volume of a monographic series, a directory, a yearbook, etc.) the two numbers shall ap- pear together, each with its own code identifier. Example: ISBN 0-8371-9540-3 ISSN 0084-9243 4. 5. Speci

If the ISSN is incorporated into other codes (bibliographi
34、c strips, bar codes, etc.) that are printed or displayed on the publication, the ISSN and its code identifier should be presented also in eye-readable form within or ac- companying the other code. 5. Administration of the ISSN. 5.1. Designated authority. The International Serials Data System (ISDS)
35、is the designated central authority for administering the assignment of ISSN. A more detailed statement of the structure and function of ISDS is given in Appendix B. 5.2. Assignment. The central authority for the assignment of an ISSN and the registration of the associated key title are responsible
36、for (1) interpreting bibliographic conventions and definitions as required: (2) establishing working definitions of serials; and, (3) making the distinction between serial entities involved in splits, mergers, title changes and the like. The centrai authority also has responsibility for the decision
37、 to cancel ISSN. 5.3. Dissemination. The central authority maintains a record of ISSN and key titles assigned, fosters the broad availability of lists of ISSN, and promotes the use of the ISSN. 6. Maintenance Agency. The Maintenance Agency designated in Appendix C shall be responsible for respond- i
38、ng to queries on the interpretation of this standard, reviewing suggestions for the improvement of the standard, and maintaining a current list of inquiries and responses that may be used for potential future enhancements of this standard. Questions and comments about this standard should be sent to

45、 710 m APPENDIX B Appendix B (This appendix is not part of American National Standard ANSI/NISO 239.9-1992, but is included for information only.) Structure and Function of the International Serials Data System 1. Background. An international organization was considered essential for comprehensive i
46、mplemen- tation of ISSN. It was necessary to centralize work at the international level to coordinate the worldwide implementation of ISSN, and to work with publishers at national or regional levels where the serial publications are actually collected and maintained. Thus, in order to promote the us
47、e of ISSN at both international and national (or regional) levels, a two-level system is required. The International Serials Data System (ISDS), designed and implemented within the framework of UNESCOs UNISIST program, functions in two levels and meets this requirement. Established through statutory
48、 agreement between UNESCO as the parent organization and the Government of France as the host country, the International Serials Data System is responsible for the introduction and operation of a worldwide automated system for the registration of serials in all branches of knowledge. As part of this
49、 function, ISDS was designated the central authority for assignment of ISSN by the International Standard IS0 3297 - International Standard Serial Numbering, 2. Structure. The ISDS network includes an International Centre for the Registration of Serial Pub- lications (Faris, France) and national centers located in member countries. Some coun- tries may elect to join together to form regional centers based on a common language, or on geographical or other considerations. Where no national or regional center has been designated, or until such arrangements can be made, the Internati
