11、 bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental
12、 and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization. International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directiv
13、es, Part 2. The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies

BS ISO 27729:2012ISO 27729:2012(E) ISO 2012 All rights reserved vIntroduction This International Standard includes a specification for an identifier for the public identities of parties. It aims to provide an efficient means to disambiguate such
16、public identities in the digital environment so that the roles participants play in creation, production, management and content distribution chains can be recognized accurately, and the content they are involved in creating can be managed effectively. Identifiers created under this International St
17、andard can be used to identify public identities of parties in databases and they can support the exchange of information in the management of media content.

18、tional standard name identifier (ISNI) 1 Scope This International Standard specifies the International Standard name identifier (ISNI) for the identification of public identities of parties, i.e. the identities used publicly by parties involved throughout the media content industries in the creation
19、, production, management and content distribution chains. The ISNI system uniquely identifies public identities across multiple fields of creative activity and provides a tool for disambiguating public identities that might otherwise be confused. The ISNI is not intended to provide direct access to
20、comprehensive information about a public identity but can provide links to other systems where such information is held. 2 Normative references The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document. For dated references, only the edition cited applies. For undated

It shall consist of two components: a) 15 decimal digits, and b) a check character. 4.2 An ISNI shall consist
24、of a “dumb” number, of which no meaning shall be embedded in, conveyed by or imputed to any part or subset of the number. 4.3 When an ISNI is written, printed or otherwise presented in a human-readable format: a) it shall be preceded by the letters ISNI, separated from the identifier by a space, and
25、 b) the 16 digits shall be displayed as four blocks of four digits, with each block separated from the next by a space. EXAMPLE ISNI 1422 4586 3573 0476 The characters “ISNI” and the space characters shall not be considered to form part of the ISNI. 4.4 The check character may be either a decimal di
26、git or the character “X” and shall be calculated using the preceding 15 decimal digits in accordance with the ISO/IEC 7064, MOD11-2 algorithm, as described in Annex A. 5 Allocation of an ISNI Annex B gives the principles for the allocation and use of an ISNI. 6 Administration of the ISNI system The
27、ISNI system shall be administered by the Registration Authority of this International Standard, hereafter referred to as the ISNI Registration Authority. The ISNI Registration Authority shall be responsible for defining the system architecture supporting the ISNI. The principal tasks of the ISNI Reg
28、istration Authority are outlined in Annex C. 7 Association of an ISNI with ISNI metadata An ISNI shall be associated with ISNI metadata (see Annex D) about the public identity it identifies by means of a register. The ISNI Registration Authority shall be responsible for the maintenance of this regis
29、ter. 8 Association of an ISNI with other identifiers The relationship of an ISNI with other identifiers is described in Annex E. BS ISO 27729:2012ISO 27729:2012(E) ISO 2012 All rights reserved 3Annex A (normative) Method for calculating the check character of an ISNI A.1 General The purpose of the c
30、heck character is to guard against errors caused by the incorrect transcription of an ISNI. A.2 Calculation of the check character The check character shall be calculated in accordance with ISO/IEC 7064, MOD 11-2. The check character shall always be located in the extreme right (low order) position.
31、 Multiply the character values by their weights, then add the products. Strings including the check character are valid if the sum of these products is congruent to 1 (mod 11). Table A.1 Method for calculating the check character of 1422 4586 3573 047 Step Procedure Result 1 Take the weighting facto
32、rs associated with each digit position as defined in Table A.2. The check digit has position 1 and is not included at this stage. 10 5 8 4 2 1 6 3 7 9 10 5 8 4 2 2 Take the first fifteen digits of the ISNI. The check character will be the sixteenth and last character. 1 4 2 2 4 5 8 6 3 5 7 3 0 4 7 3

BS ISO 27729:2012ISO 27729:2012(E) ISO 2012 All rights reserved 5Annex B (normative) General principles for the allocation and use of ISNI An ISNI shall be allocated in accordance with the following principles. a) The ISNI Registration Authorit
37、y shall be responsible for allocating an ISNI to a public identity of a party upon request by a registrant. b) The same ISNI shall be allocated to one and only one public identity of a party. c) Alternative spellings, alternative presentations, character set variances, script variances and linguisti
38、c variances do not by themselves justify the allocation of different ISNIs. EXAMPLE 1 William Shakespear and William Shakespeare are alternative spellings of the same name. EXAMPLE 2 e. e. cummings and E. E. Cummings or Oxford University Press and OUP are alternative presentations of the same name.
39、EXAMPLE 3 Gnter Gra, Guenter Grass and Guenter Gra are character set variants of the same name. EXAMPLE 4 Ciaikovsky, Pjotr Iljc is a script variant of . EXAMPLE 5 Pyotr Tchaikovsky and Peter Tchaikovsky are linguistic variants of the same name. d) Multiple public identities relating to the same par
40、ty shall have separate ISNIs. EXAMPLE Ruth Rendell and Barbara Vine are two public identities of the same party. Ruth Rendell and Barbara Vine are allocated distinct ISNIs. e) Corporate entity name changes resulting from splits or mergers justify the allocation of a different ISNI. EXAMPLE 1 Charles
41、 Scribners Sons merged in 1978 with Atheneum to become The Scribner Book Companies. All three entities are allocated different ISNIs. EXAMPLE 2 Warner Music Group was split off from Time Warner. Warner Music Group is allocated a new ISNI. f) Links between multiple public identities relating to the s
42、ame party may be established by including the related ISNI and the type of relationship in the metadata set of the ISNI of each public identity as described in D.3. EXAMPLE The ISNI metadata set for Ruth Rendell can include the following metadata elements: Related identifier: ISNI 1422 4586 3573 047
43、6 Type of relationship: “is the pseudonym of” ISNI 1422 4586 3573 0476 being the ISNI for Barbara Vine. BS ISO 27729:2012ISO 27729:2012(E) 6 ISO 2012 All rights reservedg) An ISNI can be allocated to groups of natural persons or legal persons. EXAMPLE The Beatles can be allocated an ISNI. h) Once al
44、located, an ISNI shall never be re-used by being allocated to another public identity, even if it is found to have been issued in error. If a party dies, the ISNI allocated to its public identities is kept. i) The ISNI Registration Authority shall define different classes of registrants and rules go
45、verning their authority to act on behalf of, or in respect of, parties in applying for an ISNI. BS ISO 27729:2012ISO 27729:2012(E) ISO 2012 All rights reserved 7Annex C (normative) Administration of the ISNI system C.1 General The ISNI system shall be administered by the ISNI Registration Authority1
46、)in accordance with the specific-ations outlined in C.2. C.2 ISNI Registration Authority The ISNI Registration Authority shall provide the following services. a) Promote, coordinate and supervise the ISNI system in compliance with the specifications of this International Standard and represent the i
47、nterests of the ISNI community to other organizations. b) Ensure and allocate only unique ISNIs. c) Ensure that there are no unreasonable restrictions to the allocation of ISNIs. d) Develop, implement, monitor, publish and enforce policies and procedures governing the operations of ISNI. e) Manage a
48、nd maintain registrant data, metadata and administrative data related to the assignment of ISNIs as is necessary to support the efficient management of ISNIs. f) Ensure the maintenance of registers of ISNI numbers and their associated administrative data. g) Publish and maintain the metadata set (an
49、d its corresponding formal schema and data dictionary) required for the allocation of an ISNI that will ensure that all public identities registered can be disambiguated. h) Facilitate the review, update and augmentation of ISNI registration metadata and provide guidance where multiple ISNIs have been assigned to a single public identity. i) Review and decide on appeals of decisions made in such matters as 1) the rejection of ISNI applications, and 2) any dis
