Information and documentation - International standard serial number (ISSN)
ISO 3297:2007 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 3297:2007 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 3297:2007. 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 3297:2007.
Information et documentation - Numéro international normalisé des publications en série (ISSN)
L'ISO 3297:2007 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. L'ISO 3297:2007 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 œuvres audiovisuelles et les œuvres musicales ont leurs propres systèmes de numérotation et ne sont donc pas explicitement concernés par l'ISO 3297:2007. 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 de l'ISO 3297:2007.
Informatika in dokumentacija - Mednarodna standardna številka serijske publikacije (ISSN)
Ta mednarodni standard opredeljuje in spodbuja uporabo standardne kode (ISSN) za identifikacijsko oznako serij in drugih neprekinjenih virov. Vsaka mednarodna standardna številka serijske publikacije (ISSN) je edinstvena oznaka določene serije ali drugega neprekinjenega vira v opredeljenem mediju. Ta mednarodni standard prav tako opisuje mehanizem »veznega ISSN (ISSN-L)«, ki zagotavlja kolokacijo ali povezovanje med različnimi različicami medijev istega neprekinjenega vira. ISSN veljajo za serije in druge neprekinjene vire bodisi v preteklosti, sedanjosti ali bodo objavljeni ali ustvarjeni v predvidljivi prihodnosti, ne glede na to ali gre za medij objave ali produkcije. Posamične monografije, zvočni in videoposnetki, natisnjene glasbene publikacije, avdiovizualna dela in glasbena dela imajo svoj lastni sistem številčenja in niso posebej omenjeni v tem mednarodnem standardu. Taki predmeti imajo lahko ISSN poleg svojih lastnih standardnih številk, kadar so del neprekinjenega vira. Podrobnejše operativno vodilo je določeno v Priročniku ISS, ki je na voljo pri registracijskem organu tega mednarodnega standarda (glej klavzulo 11).

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.
International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.
The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards
adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an
International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent
rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
ISO 3297 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 46, Information and documentation, Subcommittee
SC 9, Identification and description.
This fourth edition cancels and replaces the third edition (ISO 3297:1998), of which the entire text has been
reorganized and rewritten. This edition clarifies and confirms that different media versions of a continuing
resource are assigned different ISSN. In recognition of the increasing need in the digital environment to
collocate as well as differentiate media versions, this edition of this International Standard introduces a
functionality, the “linking ISSN” (ISSN-L), for the purpose of supporting services that offer search and delivery
functionality across all media versions.

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. Thus the scope of this fourth edition
has been broadened to cover serials and other continuing resources.

Information and documentation — International standard serial
number (ISSN)
1 Scope
This International Standard 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 International Standard 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 International
Standard. 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 International Standard (see Clause 11).

integrating resources such as loose-leaf publications that are continually updated and Web sites that are continually
updated.
NOTE 3 The French term is ressource continue.
2.2
serial
continuing resource issued in a succession of discrete issues or parts, usually bearing numbering, that has no
predetermined conclusion
EXAMPLE Journals, magazines, electronic journals, ongoing directories, annual reports, newspapers, monographic
series, and also those journals, magazines and newsletters of limited duration that otherwise bear all the characteristics of
serials (e.g. newsletter of an event).

3 Construction of ISSN
An ISSN shall consist of eight digits, using Arabic numerals 0 to 9, except for the last digit (extreme right,
low-order position) which can also use the upper case letter X. The last digit shall be the check digit. The
check digit shall be calculated on a modulus 11 basis with weights 8 to 2, using X in lieu of 10 where 10 would
occur as a check digit. See Annex A for further details.
Since ISSN are likely to be used in the same context as codes designed for other purposes, such as the
International Standard Book Number (ISBN) or local control numbers, the written or printed presentation of
ISSN shall clearly distinguish ISSN from other numbering systems. Therefore, an ISSN shall be preceded by
the prefix ISSN and a space, and shall appear as two groups of four digits separated by a hyphen.
EXAMPLES
ISSN 0251-1479
ISSN 1050-124X
4 Assignment of ISSN
4.1 An ISSN shall be assigned only by a centre of the ISSN Network.

Avant-propos
L'ISO (Organisation internationale de normalisation) est une fédération mondiale d'organismes nationaux de
normalisation (comités membres de l'ISO). L'élaboration des Normes internationales est en général confiée
aux comités techniques de l'ISO. Chaque comité membre intéressé par une étude a le droit de faire partie du
comité technique créé à cet effet. Les organisations internationales, gouvernementales et non
gouvernementales, en liaison avec l'ISO participent également aux travaux. L'ISO collabore étroitement avec
la Commission électrotechnique internationale (CEI) en ce qui concerne la normalisation électrotechnique.
Les Normes internationales sont rédigées conformément aux règles données dans les Directives ISO/CEI,
Partie 2.
La tâche principale des comités techniques est d'élaborer les Normes internationales. Les projets de Normes
internationales adoptés par les comités techniques sont soumis aux comités membres pour vote. Leur
publication comme Normes internationales requiert l'approbation de 75 % au moins des comités membres
votants.
L'attention est appelée sur le fait que certains des éléments du présent document peuvent faire l'objet de
droits de propriété intellectuelle ou de droits analogues. L'ISO ne saurait être tenue pour responsable de ne
pas avoir identifié de tels droits de propriété et averti de leur existence.
L'ISO 3297 a été élaborée par le comité technique ISO/TC 46, Information et documentation, sous-comité
SC 9, Identification et description.
Cette quatrième édition annule et remplace la troisième édition (ISO 3297:1998), dont le texte a été
intégralement réorganisé et réécrit. Cette édition clarifie et confirme le fait qu'un ISSN distinct est attribué à
chaque version sur un support différent d'une ressource continue. Pour tenir compte du besoin croissant dans
l'environnement numérique de rassembler comme de différencier les versions sur des supports différents
d'une même ressource, elle introduit une fonctionnalité, l'«ISSN de liaison (ISSN-L)», dont l'objet est de
faciliter les services de recherche et de distribution à travers toutes les versions sur des supports différents.

Introduction
Le besoin d'un code d'identification bref, unique et univoque pour les publications en série et les autres
ressources continues, a été universellement reconnu. L'échange d'informations entre les bibliothèques, les
centres de documentation et les autres utilisateurs de contenu; les fournisseurs, les distributeurs et d'autres
intermédiaires; les éditeurs et les autres producteurs de contenu, impose la prescription d'un code normalisé.
La communication entre les différents organismes dépasse les frontières nationales et requiert par
conséquent un code international qui soit numérique, puisque la plupart des producteurs et des utilisateurs de
publications en série n'utilisent pas un alphabet unique. En réponse à ces besoins, le Numéro international
normalisé des publications en série (ISSN) a été conçu comme le code d'identification des publications en
série.
Le Système international de données sur les publications en série (ISDS, International Serials Data System),
organisation intergouvernementale établie dans le cadre du programme UNISIST/UNESCO, a été désigné
pour mettre en place et gérer l'attribution des ISSN. En 1993, l'ISDS est devenu le Réseau de l'ISSN.
Les trois premières éditions de la présente Norme internationale se rapportaient uniquement aux publications
en série. Toutefois, une nouvelle catégorie de ressources, les «ressources continues», a été définie en 2002
par la communauté des bibliothèques pour englober de nouveaux types de ressources, telles que les bases
de données à mise à jour, aussi bien que les publications en série traditionnelles. Ainsi, le domaine
d'application de cette quatrième édition a été élargi, afin de couvrir les publications en série et les autres
ressources continues.
NORME INTERNATIONALE ISO 3297:2007(F)

publication en série ou d'une autre ressource continue sur un support déterminé. La présente Norme
internationale 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 œuvres
audiovisuelles et les œuvres musicales ont leurs propres systèmes de numérotation et ne sont donc pas
explicitement concernés par la présente Norme internationale. 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 de la présente Norme internationale (voir Article 11).
