Information and documentation - International standard name identifier (ISNI)
This document specifies the International Standard name identifier (ISNI) for the identification of public identities of parties, i.e. the identities used publicly by parties involved throughout the media content industries in the creation, production, management and content distribution chains.
The ISNI system uniquely identifies public identities across multiple fields of creative activity and provides a tool for disambiguating public identities that might otherwise be confused.
The ISNI is not intended to provide direct access to comprehensive information about a public identity but can provide links to other systems where such information is held.

About This Item
TS ISO 27729 addresses the International Standard Name Identifier (ISNI), a global identifier used to distinguish public identities of parties involved in the media content industries and related creative activities. It provides a structured way to separate one public identity from another when names, spellings, or professional uses would otherwise create confusion.
What the identifier is for
ISNI is a unique identifier for a public identity, not a biography or a full authority record. In general technical terms, identifiers like ISNI support name disambiguation across catalogues, databases, rights-management systems, and archival workflows. They are especially useful where the same person or organization may appear under multiple forms of a name or operate across different creative fields.
According to the scope of this standard, ISNI is used across creation, production, management, and content distribution chains. The standard also makes clear that the identifier is not intended to provide direct access to comprehensive information about the identity; instead, it can link to other systems where such information is maintained.
Why this matters in practice
- Supports unique identification of public identities.
- Helps disambiguate similar or overlapping names.
- Works across multiple fields of creative activity.
- Can point to external systems rather than holding full identity data itself.
