The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through
16、 ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborate
17、s closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization. International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 3. Draft International Standards adopted by the technical committees are circu
18、lated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote. Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this International Standard may be the subject of patent rights. ISO shall not be
19、 held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. International Standard ISO 15707 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 46, Information and documentation, Subcommittee SC 9, Presentation, identification and description of documents, in collaboration with the International Confed
20、eration of Societies of Authors and Composers (CISAC). Annex A forms a normative part of this International Standard. Annexes B and C are for information only.ISO 15707:2001(E)v Introduction The International Standard Musical Work Code (ISWC) system was developed by the member societies of the Inter
21、national Confederation of Societies of Authors and Composers (CISAC). CISACs purpose in creating an ISWC for musical works is to enable more efficient administration of rights to those works on a worldwide basis. The ISWC provides an efficient means of identifying musical works in computer databases
22、 and related documentation and for the exchange of information between rights societies, publishers, record companies and other interested parties on an international level.INTERNATIONAL STANDARD ISO 15707:2001(E)1 Information and documentation International Standard Musical Work Code (ISWC) 1 Scope
23、 This International Standard specifies a means of uniquely identifying a musical work. It standardizes and promotes internationally the use of a standard identification code so that musical works can be uniquely distinguished from one another within computer databases and related documentation and f
24、or the purposes of collecting societies involved in the administration of rights to such works. The International Standard Musical Work Code (ISWC) identifies musical works as intangible creations. It is not used to identify manifestations of or objects related to a musical work. Such manifestations
25、 and objects are the subject of separate identification systems, such as the International Standard Recording Code (ISRC) for sound recordings, the International Standard Music Number (ISMN) for printed music, and the International Standard Audiovisual Number (ISAN) for audiovisual works. Guidelines
26、 for the use of ISWC are given in normative annex A. 2 Terms and definitions For the purposes of this International Standard, the following terms and definitions apply. 2.1 check digit added digit which may be used to verify the accuracy of a standard number through a mathematical relationship to th
27、e digits contained in that number NOTE Adapted from ISO 7064:1983. 2.2 musical work work composed of a combination of sounds, with or without accompanying text 2.3 work distinct, abstract creation of the mind whose existence is revealed through one or more expressions (e.g. a performance) or manifes
28、tations (e.g. an object) 3 Construction of an ISWC 3.1 Basic construction An ISWC consists of a prefix element followed by nine digits and a check digit, as follows: prefix element (1 character); work identifier (9 digits); check digit (1 digit).ISO 15707:2001(E) 2 When an ISWC is written or printed
29、, the letters ISWC shall precede it. For ease of reading only, hyphens and dots may be used as separators between the elements of the identifier. EXAMPLE ISWC T-034.524.680-1 3.2 Prefix element The first element of an ISWC shall be the letter “T”. If necessary, the International ISWC Agency may, at
30、its discretion, designate another alphanumeric character in place of “T” in order to expand the numbering capacity of the ISWC system and/or to indicate the beginning of a new phase in the assignment of ISWC to musical works. 3.3 Work identifier The second element of an ISWC shall be the work identi
31、fier. The work identifier is a 9-digit numeric code. Work identifiers for musical works shall be in the numeric range of 000000001 999999999. 3.4 Check digit The third element of an ISWC shall be the check digit. The check digit of an ISWC is calculated on a weighted modulus 10. The formula for calc
32、ulating the check digit is shown in informative annex B. 4 Administration The Registration Authority for this International Standard shall be the International ISWC Agency 1 . The ISWC shall be administered by the International ISWC Agency and by other appropriate ISWC agencies appointed by the Inte
33、rnational Agency for that purpose. 5 Association of an ISWC with descriptive metadata An ISWC shall be associated with descriptive data (see informative annex C) about the musical work it identifies by means of a database repository maintained by the specific ISWC agency which registered that work.
34、6 Association of an ISWC with digital content An ISWC may be associated with digital expressions and manifestations of a musical work by employing appropriate techniques (e.g. encryption and watermarking) to facilitate tracking the use of that work. 1 International ISWC Agency c/o CISAC 20 - 26 boul

36、be assigned to any musical work, published or unpublished, newly created or already existing, irrespective of its copyright status. Modified versions, excerpts and composite musical works shall be allocated an ISWC separate from the ISWC of the work(s) from which they are derived. Examples of modifi
37、ed versions are as follows: changes to the content of a musical work, with the exception of minor alterations; new arrangements (e.g. a Bach Invention for Piano, arranged for chamber orchestra); translations of the literary text of a musical work. Examples of excerpts are as follows: movements and o
38、ther principal divisions of a musical work which might be known as something other than the title for the entire work (e.g. “Ode to Joy”, the last movement of Beethovens 9th Symphony); any work that is recognized as being an excerpt from a larger work, even though the type of excerpt may be unknown.
39、 Examples of composite works are as follows: a medley consisting of existing works or excerpts of such works performed in a continuous sequence; a work containing samples of pre-existing works, such as a new song in which a rap lyric is sung over a rhythm track from a previously recorded work. A.2 A
40、dministration of the ISWC system A.2.1 International ISWC Agency The Registration Authority for this International Standard shall be the International ISWC Agency. The International ISWC Agency shall appoint ISWC agencies for specific regions and/or sectors and shall allocate blocks of ISWC to them
41、according to their requirements.ISO 15707:2001(E) 4 A.2.2 Regional and sectoral ISWC agencies There shall be ISWC agencies 2 for the administration and allocation of the ISWC in specific regions and/or sectors. The main criteria taken into account by the International ISWC Agency in appointing an IS
42、WC agency for a specific region or sector shall be as follows: a) the ability of the candidate agency to manage a musical repertoire for its specified area of jurisdiction; b) the authority of the candidate agency to solve issues relating to the unique identification of musical works in its specifie
43、d area of jurisdiction; c) the capacity of the candidate agency to exchange information with other agencies of the ISWC system for musical works, and to apply common rules and practices of the ISWC system as defined in the ISWC agencies manual. A .3A llo cat io no fanISWC A.3.1 An ISWC shall be allo
44、cated to a musical work by an ISWC agency upon request from a rights society that is affiliated with that agency and which currently represents one of the works creators (e.g. composer, author or arranger). In cases where a creator is not represented by a copyright society that is affiliated with an
45、 ISWC agency, the creator may request an ISWC agency to allocate ISWC to works on his behalf. A.3.2 In cases where more than one ISWC agency is involved, by virtue of a work being co-written or its creator(s) being affiliated with more than one rights agency, the ISWC may be allocated by any one of
46、the agencies involved after first confirming that an ISWC has not yet been allocated to that work by any other ISWC agency. A.3.3 For a creator whose works are in the public domain, a specific ISWC agency shall be designated to assign ISWC to that creators works, by arrangement with the Internationa
47、l ISWC Agency. A.3.4 Following the allocation of an ISWC, the ISWC agency involved shall immediately register that ISWC and its supporting data with appropriate notifications to the parties involved. A.3.5 The same ISWC shall not be allocated to more than one musical work. A.3.6 If more than one ISW
48、C has inadvertently been assigned to the same musical work, each of those ISWCs may remain in circulation for that work. A.3.7 Once allocated, an ISWC shall never be re-used for another musical work, even if it is found to have been issued in error. A.4 Descriptive metadata ISWC agencies shall captu
49、re descriptive data about each musical work to which an ISWC is assigned, in accordance with the specifications of the International ISWC Agency. Elements of such descriptive data shall include, as a minimum, the following: a) at least one original title for the work (as defined in C.2); b) all creators of the work with their respective roles indicated (see C.3); 2 ISWC agencies may be established according to national, regional, linguistic or other sectoral grouping, at the discretion of the International ISWC Agency.ISO 15707:2001(E)5
