The International Standard Name Identifier, or ISNI, is a unique identifier assigned to individuals and organizations involved in creative works. It helps to distinguish between different creators, such as authors, musicians, and researchers, ensuring that their contributions are accurately recognized and attributed. ISNI provides a standardized way to link various names and works, reducing confusion caused by similar names or variations in spelling. This system is particularly useful in libraries, databases, and digital platforms, facilitating better organization and retrieval of information related to creative outputs.
