The ISNI Organizations Registry Provides Open Identifiers
The ISNI International Agency (ISNI-IA) changed its infrastructure to focus on providing open identifiers to organizations in the scholarly communications field. “The ISNI Organizations Registry will enable organizations to change and correct their own records and allow the research community to identify author affiliations persistently and authoritatively, thereby supporting analysis of research output and impact,” according to the press release. The current ISNI Registry has identity records of 8.75 million named individuals and more than 650,000 organizations in the scholarly and media industries. The ISNI-IA will manage the ISNI Organizations Registry separately, and its data will be available under a CC0 license, meaning users can download it.For more information, read the press release.
