Standards are familiar, even if you don’t notice

Key Concepts in Standardization

The thing being identified
The Referent
![Page 11: Are you sure you have the right copy? Identifying E-Books with ISBN](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022052900/555a90c9d8b42a3e268b4627/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
The string identifying the referent
The Identifier
![Page 12: Are you sure you have the right copy? Identifying E-Books with ISBN](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022052900/555a90c9d8b42a3e268b4627/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
The data that describes the referent
The Metadata
![Page 13: Are you sure you have the right copy? Identifying E-Books with ISBN](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022052900/555a90c9d8b42a3e268b4627/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
• Identifiers can be but are not necessarily names (often better if they aren’t)
• IDs can be but need not be human-readable. They also may or may not be human understandable.
• Metadata describe attributes of the referent
• Not every attribute need be described
An ID & its metadata
![Page 14: Are you sure you have the right copy? Identifying E-Books with ISBN](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022052900/555a90c9d8b42a3e268b4627/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Functional Granularity
![Page 15: Are you sure you have the right copy? Identifying E-Books with ISBN](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022052900/555a90c9d8b42a3e268b4627/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
You ID an item at the level at which it makes sense for your business
needs to identify that item
Functional Granularity
![Page 16: Are you sure you have the right copy? Identifying E-Books with ISBN](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022052900/555a90c9d8b42a3e268b4627/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
A lesson in functional granularity
![Page 17: Are you sure you have the right copy? Identifying E-Books with ISBN](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022052900/555a90c9d8b42a3e268b4627/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
How do these things apply in my life?

When is a new thing a new thing?

“Different product forms (e.g. hardcover, paperback, Braille, audio-book, video, online
electronic publication) shall be assigned separate ISBNs. Each different format of an
electronic publication (e.g. “.lit”,“.pdf”, “.html”, “.pdb”) that is published and made separately
available shall be given a separate ISBN.”

ISBN-13 for E-books
When should a new version get a new ISBN?
PDF? HTML? EPUB? MOBI? KINDLE?
If a publisher refuses to assign one, can a supplier; such as Baker & Taylor, Ingram, or Google?
Metadata bloat – 1 book, with 15 chaptersSold separately available in 5 formats + HC, SC, PoDPotentially 78 ISBNs assigned to one book

THERE IS NO SUCH THING
AS AN E-ISBN
There are only ISBNs asigned to ebooks (OK?)
![Page 24: Are you sure you have the right copy? Identifying E-Books with ISBN](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022052900/555a90c9d8b42a3e268b4627/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)

Simply put:Each file a publisher
produces for external distribution gets an
ISBN
