The '''International Standard Name Identifier''' ('''ISNI''') is a method for uniquely identifying the public identities of contributors to media content such as books, TV programmes and newspaper articles.
It is being developed byunder the auspices of the [[International Organization for Standardization]] (ISO) as [http://www.iso.org/iso/iso_catalogue/catalogue_tc/catalogue_detail.htm?csnumber=44292 Draft International Standard 27729]. The ISO technical committee 46, subcommittee 9 ([[TC 46/SC 9]]) is responsible for the development of the standard.
