ISNI-KOREA Consortium to collect and connect

Abstract

As the untact era accelerates, numerous contents are rapidly produced and used in the digital world. International Standard Name Identifier(ISNI) is ISO-certified international standard number given to individuals or organizations related to creation, production and performance of literature, academics, music, art, film and broadcasting etc.

ISNI, which internationally identifies and manages creators with the same name, is also a bridge identifier that interconnects content. It connects data with various person identifiers such as ORCID, VIAF, Wikidata and LCNACO, and is also used for copyright protection.

Since 2016, the National Library of Korea established the ISNI-KOREA consortium in cooperation with 14 Korean institutions including public, academic, literature, art, broadcasting and film field, and has operated an integrated service that connects Korean creators and creative works.

Through the poster session, I would like to introduce ISNI-KOREA operation plans and services and the current status and plans for how K-contents are “connecting” with users around the world through ISNI-KOREA.
