What is ISNI? • • • ISNI is the globally recognized and adopted international standard approved by ISO for the unique identification of the public identities of persons and organizations across all fields of creative activity, including researchers, inventors, writers, artists, visual creators, performers, producers, publishers, academic and other types of organizations, aggregators and more. ISNIs are neutral and international in scope. ISNI is an identifier assignment service, offering identifiers that are managed and curated. ISNI serves as a hub, to link local and global environments and acts as a bridging identifier, intended to provide interoperability between different identifiers for the same identity.
