Open ISNI for Organizations is a Ringgold service that provides ISNIs (International Standard Name Identifier) for organizations worldwide.
To optimize usability and interoperability, we have re-engineered the free and open service we provide to the community. The service now limits the results to top-level organizations only.
This service provides:
• An API to obtain and resolve existing ISNIs for organizations > Click here
• An online look-up service to search for organizations and obtain ISNIs > Click here
• An online look-up service to search by ISNI > Click here
The services are free to use and do not require registration. The ISNI data that Ringgold is providing is open, and may be utilised and shared freely.
ISNI is an international standard bridging identifier to link data among disparate datasets. Any dataset mapped to ISNIs, whether open or proprietary can be linked together to provide interoperability between systems to benefit the entire scholarly community.
