ISNI

ISNI, or International Standard Name Identifier, is a unique digital code assigned to individuals involved in creative or scholarly work—such as authors, artists, researchers, and publishers. Its main purpose is to accurately identify and link a person's work across various platforms, databases, and publications, regardless of name variations, translations, or changes over time. This helps improve the organization, discovery, and attribution of intellectual property, ensuring that the right creator gets credit and their work is easily findable globally. Think of ISNI as a universal ID for creators' identities in the digital world.
