Welcome to the new ISO standard that will finally allow users to definitively identify contributors, across all forms of content. The International Standard Name Identifier (ISNI) is an ISO-certified global standard for the identification of contributors to creative works.

The ISNI system uniquely identifies public identities across multiple fields of creative activity that might otherwise be confused. An ISNI can be assigned to all parties that create, produce, manage, distribute or feature in creative content — including human beings, legal entities(such as a company), or fictional characters.

"ISNI will facilitate the identification of contributors in all forms of content and the collocation of their works. This will improve search and discovery for researchers in all fields."
