BISAC Committees
Identification
The BISAC Identification Committee monitors, reviews and develops best
practices for the use of existing identifier standards in the book
supply chain. It also seeks to contribute to the development of emerging
identifier standards and the implementation of new ones, working in
cooperation with other standards bodies where appropriate.
As part of
its current work, the Committee is monitoring the progress of the
International Standard Party Identifier (ISPI) and the implementation of
the International Standard Text Code (ISTC) and contributing ideas
towards their development. The Committee is responsible
for monitoring usage of ISBN in the U.S.
See BISG's
Roadmap of Identifiers
for definitions and further descriptions of the various identifiers
discussed above.
 The
Identification of Digital Book Content
NOW AVAILABLE: A new discussion document on
how digital publications should be identified.
One
of the priorities of the Identification Committee in 2008 is to
develop, with the support of the U.S. Book Industry, guidelines and
best practices on how digital book content should be identified. As
part of this process, BISG has commissioned a discussion document that
sets out some of the key issues in this area. BISG welcomes feedback
from those interested in these issues. Please send comments and
questions to
bisac_identification@bisg.org.
