===============================================================
ABOUT THE WEBINAR
Just about everyone is familiar with the ISBN for books and the ISSN for
serials. But new identifiers and new identifier standards have been
developed for resources, people, and organizations. NISO's January 2012
webinar--Identify This! Identify That! New Identifiers and New Uses--will
discuss three of the newest identifiers: the International Standard Text
Code (ISTC), the International Standard Name Identifier (ISNI), and the Open
Researcher and Contributor ID (ORCID).
SPEAKERS & TOPICS:
ISTC: The Identifier for Textual Works
Roy Crego, Product Manager, Title Linking/ISTC/ISNI, Bowker
Launched in 2009, the International Standard Text Code (ISTC) is now offered
by 10 Registration agencies representing six languages. The need for a text
identifier, its relation to the ISBN, and the solutions provided by the ISTC
will be discussed.
ISNI: Scope, Participation, and Operation
Janifer Gatenby, Research Integration and Standards, OCLC
The ISNI database went live in November 2011. The initial database,
including contributions from VIAF (libraries), professional societies, trade
organizations, and rights management societies, contains just under one
million assigned names. The ISNI operational architecture and assignment
system will be outlined, together with an overview of the various use cases
for ISNI.
ORCID: Open Researcher and Contributor ID
Chris Shillum, Vice President Product Management, Platform and Content at
Elsevier
ORCID aims to solve the author/contributor name ambiguity problem in
scholarly communications by creating a central registry of unique
identifiers for individual researchers and an open and transparent linking
mechanism between ORCID and other current author ID schemes.
REGISTRATION:
Registration is per site (access for one computer) and closes at 12:00 pm
Eastern on January 11, 2012. Discounts are available for NISO and NASIG
