description: 'ISNI is the ISO certified global standard number for identifying the
  millions of contributors to creative works and those active in their distribution,
  including researchers, inventors, writers, artists, visual creators, performers,
  producers, publishers, aggregators, and more. It is part of a family of international
  standard identifiers that includes identifiers of works, recordings, products and
  right holders in all repertoires, e.g. DOI, ISAN, ISBN, ISRC, ISSN, ISTC, and ISWC.


  The mission of the ISNI International Authority (ISNI-IA) is to assign to the public
  name(s) of a researcher, inventor, writer, artist, performer, publisher, etc. a
  persistent unique identifying number in order to resolve the problem of name ambiguity
  in search and discovery; and diffuse each assigned ISNI across all repertoires in
  the global supply chain so that every published work can be unambiguously attributed
  to its creator wherever that work is described.'
