14、on) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been established has the right to be re
15、presented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization. International Standards
16、are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2. The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an Internati
17、onal Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote.

20、ABS .ISO 15511:2009(E) iv ISO 2009 All rights reservedIntroduction Communication and resource sharing among libraries and related organizations, including archives, museums, government agencies, educational institutions and businesses, have dramatically increased. This new collaboration has created
21、a need for a structured, standard identifier for organizations, especially libraries. Due largely to the implementation of ISO 2709, which specifies the format for information exchange, millions of bibliographic records are now available to users all over the world through the Internet, in virtual u
22、nion catalogues and through other cooperative information systems. Holdings data linked to bibliographic records provide direct access to records and documents and to the services supplied by libraries and related organizations and agencies. A standardized identifier for the originating or holding s
23、ource will effectively facilitate access to this information. Organizational identifiers are widely used in many countries. This International Standard utilizes a flexible structure that can accommodate existing identifiers and be used to create new identifiers. This common framework will enable org
24、anizations in the same sector and organizations in parallel sectors to collaborate.

25、ation International standard identifier for libraries and related organizations (ISIL) 1 Scope This International Standard specifies the International Standard identifier for libraries and related organizations (ISIL) which comprises a set of standard identifiers used for the unique identification o
26、f libraries, archives, museums and related organizations with a minimum impact on already existing systems. An ISIL identifies an organization, i.e. a library, an archive, a museum or a related organization, or one of its subordinate units, which is responsible for an action or service in an informa
27、tional environment (e.g. creation of machine-readable information). It can be used to identify the originator or holder of a resource (e.g. library material or collection in an archive). The ISIL is intended for use by libraries, archives, museums and agencies doing business or interacting with thes
28、e organizations (e.g. suppliers, publishers, and government institutions). An ISIL identifies an organization or one of its subordinate units, throughout its life. In some cases, such as when an organization has undergone a significant administrative change (e.g. a merger with another organization),
29、 particularly one that results in a name change, a new ISIL identifier can be allocated. Since this International Standard allows the use of existing codes to be incorporated into the ISIL, it is possible that a given organization can have more than one ISIL, however, the intent of this Internationa
30、l Standard is to minimize the number of codes. Any library, archive, museum or related organization, administrative unit or subordinate unit, acting autonomously, can be allocated an ISIL. An ISIL is not intended to be used to classify organizations or their services and holdings. 2 Normative refere

35、 successors. The term archives also designates the body of records themselves. 3.3 country code code that represents the current names of countries, dependencies and other areas of particular geopolitical interest, on the basis of lists of country names obtained from the United Nations 3.4 country s
36、ubdivision code that represents the name of the principal administrative divisions, or similar areas, of the country, etc. 3.5 library place, building, room, or set of rooms, set apart to contain, and charged with the care of, literature and information, collections of books or other written or prin
37、ted materials, for reading, study or reference, for the use of the public 3.6 related organization organization in the field of information or a subordinate unit of that organization, other than a library, which is responsible for an action or service in a bibliographic environment EXAMPLES Agency,
38、archive, business, educational or government institution, museum or other body of a cooperative nature, and units subordinate to such a body capable of providing a service, producing a product, conducting a program or holding resources in the field of information. NOTE 1 The creation of machine-read
39、able information is an example of an action in a bibliographic environment. NOTE 2 Programs and projects administered by an organization are excluded. 4 Structure, elements and characteristics of the ISIL 4.1 General The ISIL is a variablelength identifier. The ISIL shall consist of a maximum of 16
40、characters, using digits (Arabic numerals 0 to 9), or letters from the 26-character Roman alphabet (excluding the use of any diacritical marks) and the following special marks solidus (/), hyphen (-) and colon (:). Each ISIL identifier shall be unique in accordance with the repertoire of characters
41、specified in ISO/IEC 10646-1 without regard to case. When an ISIL is written, printed, or otherwise visually presented, it shall be preceded by the letters ISIL separated from the identifier by a space. This International Standard does not specify any restrictions on how data defining an ISIL is to
42、be stored in a computer system. An ISIL shall consist of three components: a) a prefix, b) a hyphen, and c) a library identifier in this order. The hyphen is a mandatory character in the ISIL string. See Annex A for examples. SANS 15511:2010This s tandard may only be used and printed by approved sub

44、r related organization is located at the time the ISIL is allocated. The country code shall consist of two uppercase letters in accordance with the alpha-2 code specified in ISO 3166-1. All two-character alphabetic combinations are reserved for possible future allocation as country codes and thus sh
45、all not be allocated as non-country code prefixes. EXAMPLE 1 GB = United Kingdom EXAMPLE 2 DE = Germany EXAMPLE 3 EG = Egypt When the library has components located in different geographic areas, the country code shall be based on the location of the main library or of the main administrative unit.
46、NOTE The list of ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 country codes is available at: http:/www.iso.org/iso/iso-3166-1_decoding_table. 4.2.3 Non-country code prefixes A non-country code prefix may be any combination of Latin alphabet characters (upper or lower case) or digits (but not special marks) as specified in 4.
47、1. The prefix shall be either one, three, or four characters in length. The prefix shall be unique and registered by the ISIL Registration Authority. EXAMPLE OCLC = OCLC, Inc 4.3 Unit identifier The unit identifier is an alphanumeric element designed to accommodate existing national systems of libra
48、ry identification or newly allocated identifiers for libraries or related organizations. Already existing identifiers, when used in international contexts, shall require the addition of the two uppercase letters of the respective country code, followed by a hyphen character. If appropriate when assi
49、gning a new identifier to an organization, it is recommended that the unit identifier of the ISIL include the element indicating the geographic subdivision (state, province, region, city, etc.) where the organization is located. If the geographic subdivision element is used, it is recommended that the element be in accordance with the codes specified in ISO 3166-2. The unit identifier will have up to 11 character positions, left justified. 5 Administration of the ISIL system The ISIL system shall be administered by the ISIL Registrati
