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 15511 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 46, Information and documentation, Subcommittee
SC 4, Technical interoperability.
This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition (ISO 15511:2003), of which it constitutes a minor
revision to remove ambiguities identified by the Registration Authority, to specify some of the related
organizations, to define an archive and to redefine a library, to update the examples in Annex A and to clarify
the administration of the ISIL system.

Introduction
Communication and resource sharing among libraries and related organizations, including archives, museums,
government agencies, educational institutions and businesses, have dramatically increased. This new
collaboration has created a need for a structured, standard identifier for organizations, especially libraries.
Due largely to the implementation of ISO 2709, which specifies the format for information exchange, millions
of bibliographic records are now available to users all over the world through the Internet, in virtual union
catalogues and through other cooperative information systems. Holdings data linked to bibliographic records
provide direct access to records and documents and to the services supplied by libraries and related
organizations and agencies. A standardized identifier for the originating or holding source will effectively
facilitate access to this information.
Organizational identifiers are widely used in many countries. This International Standard utilizes a flexible
structure that can accommodate existing identifiers and be used to create new identifiers. This common
framework will enable organizations in the same sector and organizations in parallel sectors to collaborate.

Information and documentation — International standard
identifier for libraries and related organizations (ISIL)
1 Scope
This International Standard specifies the International Standard identifier for libraries and related organizations
(ISIL) which comprises a set of standard identifiers used for the unique identification of libraries, archives,
museums and related organizations with a minimum impact on already existing systems.
An ISIL identifies an organization, i.e. a library, an archive, a museum or a related organization, or one of its
subordinate units, which is responsible for an action or service in an informational environment (e.g. creation
of machine-readable information). It can be used to identify the originator or holder of a resource (e.g. library
material or collection in an archive). The ISIL is intended for use by libraries, archives, museums and agencies
doing business or interacting with these organizations (e.g. suppliers, publishers, and government institutions).
An ISIL identifies an organization or one of its subordinate units, throughout its life. In some cases, such as
when an organization has undergone a significant administrative change (e.g. a merger with another
organization), particularly one that results in a name change, a new ISIL identifier can be allocated.
Since this International Standard allows the use of existing codes to be incorporated into the ISIL, it is possible
that a given organization can have more than one ISIL, however, the intent of this International Standard is to
minimize the number of codes.
Any library, archive, museum or related organization, administrative unit or subordinate unit, acting
autonomously, can be allocated an ISIL.
An ISIL is not intended to be used to classify organizations or their services and holdings.
