Organizations (corporate bodies) are in scope for ISNI, but meeting names (conferences) are not.  Even though ISNI records may be found for some meeting names, new records for meetings should not be created pending discussions between ISNI and OCLC. (Participant questions, Q30)

Splits

Records that need to be split because the information represents more than one identity may be reported to the ISNI Quality Team (ISNIQT).  ISNI members do not have the authority to remove fields that came from other sources.  This can only be done by the ISNIQT.  This also applies when a record includes erroneous information, such as the title of a work or a date that applies to a different identity.  Simple situations may be reported by adding a General Note in the web interface (field 667 in WinIBW).  More complex situations can be described in an email sent to the ISNIQT.

Web portal

Do not use the web portal at www.isni.org/search.  It looks similar to the web version that we use for editing in ISNI, but this has access only to the public database and shows only records with assigned ISNI numbers.  We can't edit records from this portal, and when we try to log in, our credentials are refused.
