Most fields of society have constructed and utilized various name identifier systems such and International Standard Name Identifier(ISNI), Open Researcher and Contributor ID(ORCID), and Interested Parties Information System(IPI) in order to uniquely identify individual authors and institutions and to associate them to data related to creative works. Although it might be inevitable to apply name identifier systems in the current data environment with rapid association and integration of data across fields, there are many problems to be addressed when utilizing those systems. In order to overcome these problems and construct better information ecological system by associating and linking data from various fields, this research analyzed advanced cases for data integration based on ISNI. Through the analysis, it suggested managemental refinements for efficiently utilizing ISNI in data integration and association.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the perceptions of the organizations in the fields of academics, arts, humanities, and music in Korea on the International Standard Name Identifier (ISNI) which is developed by International Standard Organization (ISO) for assuring the public identities of creators, contributors, and producers to contents in the fields. National Library of Korea (NLK), one of the official registration agencies of ISNI in Korea, launched a consortium, ISNI-Korea, with various organizations in the fields to promote the ISNI registration and application. In this study, focused group interviews were carried out with participants from a total of 13 organizations; these organizations were divided into three groups by the progress on collaboration with NLK at the ISNI-Korea consortium. The current status of the personnel or membership information management by organizations, their expectations and barriers for using ISNI, and the ISNI application to the fields have been discussed intensively during the interviews. Findings from this study could benefit NLK to develop the strategies to promote ISNI in the fields. This study also proposed follow-up studies to enhance the use of ISNI in Korea.

ISNI is a relay identifier that can integrate universal archival data and has the advantage of being flexibly applied to various fields compared to ORCID, which is limited to academic researchers, but in Korea, it is overwhelmingly issued to researchers and educators, and its purpose is gradually fading. In particular, overseas, ISNI issuance is active with the active participation of the publishing industry, but in Korea, there is no issuance through the publishing industry. This study was designed to expand the issuance of ISNIs to various fields including the Korean publishing industry. In order to achieve the research objectives, in-depth interviews were conducted with representatives of the existing ISNI-KOREA consortium organizations and potential consortium expansion organizations such as the publishing industry. As a result of the interviews, four policy implications were drawn as a way to revitalize ISNI: reorganizing its own system, strengthening governance, promotion and education, and system linkage. To address these policy implications, we proposed a mid- to long-term development plan centered on four policy goals and 12 key tasks. This study is expected to help the National Library of Korea, which operates the ISNI-KOREA consortium, develop policies related to ISNI activation.

The purpose of this study is to present technical elements to improve the data utilization of the ISNI Korea Consortium, which is operated by the National Library of Korea, which is responsible for the registration of Korean names. The ISNI Korea Consortium aims to register various creation-related information in addition to bibliographic-related individual and organization name information. To this end, this study examines the ISNI Korea consortium, which is a data provider's consultative body, among other things, the metadata status of copyright organizations and the linked data specification of ISNI. As a result, data acquisition, refining, storage, identifier management, consortium metadata management, five in total, and RDF data management (repository) in terms of linked data, RDF data issuance, RDF data retrieval, RDF data inquiry, RDF data Eight technical elements, including download, ontology inquiry, standard term inquiry and mapping information management, were derived.
