ISSN : International Standard Serial Number

• An identification system for serial publications

…..today « continuing resources »

• An international network– 73 member countries– 1 regional Centre for South-East Asia– the International Centre

Page 3: Serials identification and the electronic environment F. Pellé, ISSN IC Cairo, October 2001.

The identification system

• An international standard : ISO 3297• The ISSN number : a unique « dumb » number

– structure : 9999-999X• 9 = digits (0 to 9)• X = control digit (0 to 9 and X)

– Example : 1050-124X• linked to the identification data

– titles (title proper, key title, etc…), bibliographic address, publishing date(s), etc….

• Uniqueness

– An ISSN is assigned to only one publication– a publication is identified by one (and only one)

ISSN

• Persistence

– Once assigned, an ISSN is never re-assigned – All assigned ISSN are registered : ISSN

Register ( 1,022,388 records on 1/10/2001)

What is the ISSN for ?

• Unique and reliable identification of an object

• Identification shared by all actors interested in this object

– dealing with the right object

– processing the right object

Page 6: Serials identification and the electronic environment F. Pellé, ISSN IC Cairo, October 2001.

The ISSN is used :

• By the information producers and distributors – publishers, press distributors, postal

services, subscription agents,...– Often through bar-codes (EAN, UCC)

• by the actors of the information chain– data base producers, libraries, union

catalogues,...

Page 7: Serials identification and the electronic environment F. Pellé, ISSN IC Cairo, October 2001.

The ISSN is used :

• By other identification systems (articles : SICI)

• On the Internet, as a persistent identifier

Changes in publishing practices

• Relatively few publications will move completely electronic

• Complex relationhips between print and electronic editions

• Dominant model : Web site, continuously/regularly updated

• Serial in the electronic world : more than an object

Page 9: Serials identification and the electronic environment F. Pellé, ISSN IC Cairo, October 2001.

Evolution of the concepts

• Seriality : the core concept

• Form of issuance– successive parts– integrating

Definitions

- Bibliographic resource : a manifestation of a work that forms the basis for bibliographic description. A bibliographic resource may be in any medium or combination of media and may be tangible or intangible.

Page 12: Serials identification and the electronic environment F. Pellé, ISSN IC Cairo, October 2001.

12

Definitions (2)

- Continuing resource : a bibliographic resource that is issued over time with no predetermined conclusion. Continuing resources include serials and ongoing integrating resources.

- Integrating resource : a bibliographic resource that is added to or changed by means of updates that do not remain discrete and are integrated into the whole. Examples of integrating resources include updating loose-leafs and updating Web sites.

Page 13: Serials identification and the electronic environment F. Pellé, ISSN IC Cairo, October 2001.

13

Definitions (3)

– Serial : a continuing resource issued in a succession of discrete parts, usually bearing numbering, that has no predetermined conclusion. Examples of serials include journals, magazines, electronic journals, continuing directories, annual reports, newspapers and monographic series.

Page 14: Serials identification and the electronic environment F. Pellé, ISSN IC Cairo, October 2001.

ISSN Strategic Plan

• New scope– from serials to continuing resources

• serials (whatever the medium) : exhaustivity

• integrating resources : selectivity

• New functions– from identification to access– ISSN : a piece of the information infrastructure

Page 15: Serials identification and the electronic environment F. Pellé, ISSN IC Cairo, October 2001.

Harmonization : ISBD, AACR and ISSN

• Revision of the cataloguing codes

• Main aim : re-use of existing records

Page 16: Serials identification and the electronic environment F. Pellé, ISSN IC Cairo, October 2001.

The ISST project

• International Standard Serial Title

• IFLA ISBD (CR) WG

• Objective : to increase record sharing and bibliographic control

• By unifying the purposes of the key title and uniform title

Page 17: Serials identification and the electronic environment F. Pellé, ISSN IC Cairo, October 2001.

17

The ISST project (2)

• Title proper + qualifier (when needed)

• Would accompany the ISSN number

• Provisional form created by all cataloguers (not only ISSN NCs)

Page 18: Serials identification and the electronic environment F. Pellé, ISSN IC Cairo, October 2001.

The ISST project : challenges

• Data flows

• Access to the whole set of ISSTs

• Corporate bodies

• Etc…

• Work in progress

URN / ISSN PROJECT

Page 21: Serials identification and the electronic environment F. Pellé, ISSN IC Cairo, October 2001.

Persistent identification on the Internet

• Problem : – longevity of links broken links

• Solution : – Uniform Resource Name (URN) : framework

defined by the IETF (Internet Engineering Task Force)

http://www.ietf.org/html.charters/urn-charter.html

Page 22: Serials identification and the electronic environment F. Pellé, ISSN IC Cairo, October 2001.

22

Uniform Resource Name

• persistent identifier for a resource

• independent of information such as protocol, host, port, etc.

• mapped to a set of URLs, that are the current locations of the resource

• divided into "namespaces" (collections of identifiers related through some relationship, e.g. NBN, ISBN, SICI, ISSN,...)

Page 23: Serials identification and the electronic environment F. Pellé, ISSN IC Cairo, October 2001.

23

The ISSN system

• provides persistent identifiers for continuing resources

• is independent of information such as protocol etc.

• maps identifiers to URLs

• is a "Name Space"

=> ISSN, a URN Name Space Identifier (NID)

Other persistent naming systems / projects

• Basic principle

– huge amount of information to be identified

– not manageable by only one system co-operation

• Other URN-NIDs (ISBN, NBN, SICI) :

– no technical problem

– SICI : being experimented (DIEPER Project)– Others : to be discussed and established

• DOI and other projects : under discussion
