ISNI Registration Authority (RA) operated by the ISNI International Agency (IA) ISNI’s administration and governance building and maintaining the ISNI database
ISNI Registration Agencies (RAG) provide services to the users serve as interfaces between the users and the RA ProQuest/Bowker is the tester for this role
Assignment Agency (AA) operates a centralized matching tool guaranteeing the
uniqueness of ISNI numbers and assigns new ISNIs OCLC (in Leiden) is the AA

ISNI database will be established in two stages
Initial phase (in progress) Data contributed by founding members (at least 20 million
unique names) ISNI Assignment Agency verifies identities using VIAF developed
matching tool Two national libraries (British and French) provide quality
assurance tests
Ongoing assignment (coming soon) Registration Agencies process ISNI requests in batch or single
mode ISNI Assignment Agency processes requests using matching tool
and assigns new ISNIs

Partner with LC, NLC, and PCC to find a solution to differentiate the non-unique CJK personal name headings.
Reason: Undifferentiated personal name authority records are rejected by VIAF since they do not refer to a unique entity. As a result, they are not included in the ISNI database.

Promote the use of ISNI at your institution Reason: ISNI is an enabler for linked metadata
applications
Educate library users Reason: ISNI will be universally embedded in
multiple databases and domains beyond the library community

Will ISNI affect the nature of authority work? Differentiating parties and creating identifiers vs.heading formulation CJK scripts vs. romanized characters
How about the concept of “preferred name heading”? Will it still be necessary given that ISNI can link multiple identities of the same Party?
