Information and documentation — International standard serial number (ISSN)
ISO 3297:2017 defines and promotes the use of a standard code (ISSN) for the unique identification of serials and other continuing resources. Each International Standard Serial Number (ISSN) is a unique identifier for a specific serial or other continuing resource in a defined medium. ISO 3297:2017 also describes a mechanism, the "linking ISSN (ISSN-L)", that provides for collocation or linking among the different media versions of the same continuing resource. ISSN are applicable to serials and to other continuing resources, whether past, present or to be published or produced in the foreseeable future, whatever the medium of publication or production. Individual monographs, sound and video recordings, printed music publications, audiovisual works and musical works have their own numbering systems and are not specifically mentioned in ISO 3297:2017. Such items may carry an ISSN in addition to their own standard numbers when they are part of a continuing resource. More detailed operational guidance is provided in the ISSN Manual available from the Registration Authority for ISO 3297:2017 (see Clause 11).
Information et documentation — Numéro international normalisé des publications en série (ISSN)
L'ISO 3297 :2017 définit et encourage l'emploi d'un code normalisé (ISSN), destiné à l'identification unique des publications en série et des autres ressources continues. Chaque Numéro international normalisé des publications en série (ISSN) est l'identifiant unique d'une publication en série ou d'une autre ressource continue sur un support déterminé. Le présent document décrit aussi un mécanisme, l'«ISSN de liaison (ISSN-L)», qui permet de rassembler et de lier les versions sur des supports différents d'une même ressource continue. L'ISSN s'applique aux publications en série et aux autres ressources continues, qu'elles soient passées, présentes ou à paraître dans un avenir prévisible, quel que soit leur support de publication ou de production. Les monographies, les enregistrements sonores et visuels, les publications de musique imprimée, les ?uvres audiovisuelles et les ?uvres musicales ont leurs propres systèmes de numérotation et ne sont donc pas explicitement concernés par le présent document. Ces documents peuvent porter un ISSN en complément de leurs propres numéros normalisés lorsqu'ils font partie d'une publication en série ou d'une ressource continue. Des recommandations plus détaillées sont fournies dans le manuel de l'ISSN, disponible auprès de l'autorité d'enregistrement du présent document (voir Article 11).
Informatika in dokumentacija - Mednarodna standardna številka serijske publikacije (ISSN)
Ta dokument definira in spodbuja uporabo standardne kode (ISSN) za enolično identifikacijo serijskih publikacij in drugih virov, ki se nadaljujejo. Vsaka mednarodna standardna številka serijske publikacije (ISSN) je enolični identifikator za določeno serijsko publikacijo ali drug vir, ki se nadaljuje, v opredeljenem mediju. Ta dokument opisuje tudi mehanizem, »povezovalni ISSN (ISSN-L)«, ki zagotavlja kolokacijo ali povezovanje med različnimi različicami medijev istega vira, ki se nadaljuje.
ISSN se nanaša na serijske publikacije in na druge vire, ki se nadaljujejo in so lahko pretekli ali sedanji, oziroma taki, ki bodo objavljeni ali proizvedeni v predvidljivi prihodnosti, na kakršnem koli mediju objave ali proizvodnje. Posamezne monografije, posnetki zvoka in videa, natisnjene glasbene publikacije, avdiovizualna dela in glasbena dela imajo lastne sisteme številčenja in niso posebej omenjeni v tem dokumentu. Taki elementi lahko imajo poleg lastnih standardnih številk tudi številko ISSN, kadar so del vira, ki se nadaljuje.
Podrobnejša operativna navodila so na voljo v priročniku za ISSN, ki je na voljo pri registracijskem organu tega mednarodnega standarda (glej 11. točko).

Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards
bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International 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 with ISO, also take part in the work.
ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of
electrotechnical standardization.
The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are
described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular the different approval criteria needed for the
different types of ISO documents should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the
editorial rules of the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www.iso.org/directives).

Introduction
The need for a brief, unique and unambiguous identification code for serials and other continuing
resources is internationally recognized. The exchange of information among libraries, abstracting
services and other content users, suppliers, distributors and other intermediaries, and publishers and
other content producers imposes the requirement for a standard code. Communication between the
different organizations transcends national boundaries and therefore requires an international code
which is numeric, since no single alphabet is used by the majority of producers and users of serials. In
response to these requirements, the International Standard Serial Number (ISSN) was established as
the identification code for serials.
The International Serials Data System (ISDS) was established as an inter-governmental organization
within the framework of the UNESCO/UNISIST program to be the designated authority for controlling
the assignment of ISSN. In 1993, the ISDS became the ISSN Network.
The first three editions of this International Standard pertained only to serials. However, in 2002 a new
category of resources, “continuing resources”, was defined by the library community to encompass new
kinds of resources, such as updating databases, as well as traditional serials. The scope of the fourth
edition was broadened to cover serials and other continuing resources.

serial number (ISSN)
1 Scope
This document defines and promotes the use of a standard code (ISSN) for the unique identification of
serials and other continuing resources.
Each International Standard Serial Number (ISSN) is a unique identifier for a specific serial or other
continuing resource in a defined medium. This document also describes a mechanism, the “linking
ISSN (ISSN-L)”, that provides for collocation or linking among the different media versions of the same
continuing resource.
ISSN are applicable to serials and to other continuing resources, whether past, present or to be published
or produced in the foreseeable future, whatever the medium of publication or production.
Individual monographs, sound and video recordings, printed music publications, audiovisual works
and musical works have their own numbering systems and are not specifically mentioned in this
document. Such items may carry an ISSN in addition to their own standard numbers when they are part
of a continuing resource.
More detailed operational guidance is provided in the ISSN Manual available from the Registration
Authority for this document (see Clause 11).
