The work of preparing Int
8、ernational 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 represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison w
9、ith ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates 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 2.The main task of technica
10、l 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 International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote.Attention is drawn to

12、d description. ISO 2012 All rights reserved iiiBS ISO 27730:2012ISO 27730:2012(E)IntroductionISO/TC 46, Information and documentation, has developed standard identifiers for a wide variety of entities. However, a standard identifier for collections, fonds and (archival) series has not yet been built
13、. In the past there was no need for such an identifier, but the situation has changed. There are now a large number of collections, fonds and series and a broad range of organizations hosting them. These collections, fonds and series can be physical or electronic, partly physical and partly electron
14、ic, or virtual; they can be available either online via the Internet or offline.The need for identifying collections, fonds and series has emerged as libraries and other cultural institutions develop their collections in cooperation with other institutions, as well as developing and maintaining mult
15、i-institutional collections, so termed “collective collections”. Collections are analysed and compared, weeded, relocated, digitized in whole or in part and made available for searching and other services via their own interfaces and via machine-to-machine interfaces. Unique identification of collec
16、tions, fonds and series enables collection parts in different locations to be linked at a “collection level” for maintenance and discovery. The searchable metadata associated with the collection identifier facilitates the discovery of collections and their strengths and availability, which are parti
17、cularly useful for search engines and metasearch engines. The metadata are also useful for cultural institutions seeking partnerships, whether on a global, regional, national or international scale.While it is possible to use local identifiers, this is not recommended in an environment where global
18、exchange of this kind of metadata is anticipated. The aim of this International Standard is to establish a system which requires neither a registration authority nor large national/regional centres, even if tens or hundreds of thousands of collections, fonds and series are identified.iv ISO 2012 All
19、 rights reservedBS ISO 27730:2012Information and documentation International standard collection identifier (ISCI)1 ScopeThis International Standard establishes the specifications for the International Standard Collection Identifier (ISCI) as a unique international identification system for each col
20、lection, fonds and (archival) series, and part(s) of collections, fonds and series. This International Standard establishes the specifications for the structure of an identifier and promotes the use of the identifier with regard to identifying systems that already exist. It also gives a list of reco
21、mmended metadata elements that describe a collection.This International Standard does not specify the description of collections, fonds and series, nor the relationships between collections and sub-collections.The ISCI is intended for use by organizations that manage collections of cultural material
22、s. These include cultural heritage institutions such as libraries, museums and archives, as well as other types of organizations such as publishers operating in the supply chain of cultural materials.2 Normative referencesThe following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of th

36、27730:2012ISO 27730:2012(E)4 Structure and syntax of the ISCI4.1 Rules for structure and syntaxThe ISCI is a variable-length identifier consisting of two parts:a) the identifier for the organization (ISIL) within square brackets; andb) the collection identifier string, assigned within a specific org
37、anization, identifying either an entire collection, a super collection or a sub-collection.NOTE The depth of a collection hierarchy is a local decision.The parsing rule for ISIL is the first pair of square brackets within the ISCI string. This can be expressed in the following way:ISILcollectionIden
38、tifierStringor formally, using the Backus-Naur Form:= There is no reliable generic method to determine the length of an ISCI when the identifier is incorporated in unstructured text. Collection identifier strings can contain any character, including, for example, spaces or other whitespace character
39、s. In structured text like a metadata record, ISCI parsing can rely on the encoding of the document in which the ISCI is embedded.EXAMPLE 1FI-HHebraica = National Library of Finland: Hebraica collection.EXAMPLE 2FI-HtJ = Helsinki University Libraries, Theology Library: Jewish collection.EXAMPLE 3FR-

42、rnal identifier of the fonds.4.2 Identifier for the organization (ISIL)An ISIL identifies an organization, or one of its subordinate units, that is responsible for an action or service in an informational environment (e.g. creation of machine-readable information). It can be used to identify the ori
43、ginator or holder of a resource (e.g. library material or archive fonds).The ISIL shall be used as the prefix of the ISCI. If an organization does not have an ISIL, it shall first request the ISIL in accordance with ISO 15511 before ISCI assignment can start.An organization can have one ISIL or more
44、. For instance, the Staatsbibliothek zu Berlin can have a domestic ISIL and another assigned by OCLC(Online Computer Library Center). One, and only one, of these ISILs, ISO 2012 All rights reserved 3BS ISO 27730:2012ISO 27730:2012(E)preferably the one assigned locally, shall serve as the basis for I
45、SCIs assigned by the organization. The order of preference in choosing the ISIL for the ISCI prefix shall be as follows:a) a country-code-based ISIL;b) a non-country-code-based ISIL.EXAMPLEDE-1 = Staatsbibliothek zu Berlin, Haus unter den Linden (German national ISIL).OCLC-SBG = Staatsbibliothek zu
46、Berlin, Haus unter den Linden (OCLC-ISIL).In this case, the DE-1 identifier should be used.However, if an organization only has one ISIL, and this is not the national country-code-based ISIL, then this ISIL may be used for the basis of the ISCI.ISILs of subordinate units can be used as the basis for
47、 ISCIs assigned for collections hosted by these units. A collection shall have one, and only one, ISCI assigned; if the ISCI is based on the ISIL of a subordinate unit, a second ISCI based on the ISIL representing the parent organization shall not be assigned to the same collection.Collections, fond
48、s or series scattered in sundry locations (physically or virtually) and/or hosted by several organizations can either use the ISIL of the principal host or register a joint ISIL with the ISIL national agency.International or multinational collections, fonds and series may use the ISIL of the princip
49、al host, if one exists. In future, such collections, fonds and series will be able to utilize a global non-country-code prefix, if and when there is an ISIL agency which assigns and administers these prefixes.The structure and registration of the ISIL is defined in ISO 15511.4.3 Collection identifier4.3.1 GeneralThe collection identifier string is an identifier indicating the collection, fonds or part(s) of the collection.4.3.2 Identifier constructionThe collection identifier string is of variable length.
