John Kunze: A group in Argentina is interested in using ISSNs as NAANs. They're typically different lengths of digits, but the technical group is making this flexible anyway. In that group, there was some concern that ISSNs don't refer to stable institutions, which was the original intent with NAANs. More recently they've been given out to any significant minter of stable identifiers anyway, regardless of scale; they could be given to a single research group, for example, not necessarily an entire university or other organization. Individual publications can have NAANs in that context. So there could be NAANs that match the ISSNs assigned to the same publishing project, but there won't be an official alliance between the ARK and ISSN organizations. It would be a convenience for the NAAN portion of ARKs that refer to articles to match the ISSN for the journal.
Peter Sachs Collopy: If the requirement to get a NAAN isn't being a recognized institution, is there a requirement? Are projects denied NAANs?
John Kunze: We ask for a commitment to persistence, but there isn't a formal set of criteria for eligibility.
Tracy Seneca: We run Open Journal Systems journals, and it doesn't make sense to associate articles in them with our institutional NAAN, because authors usually aren't affiliated with our institution and because journals sometimes change hands. With this approach, the NAAN could go from one institution to another with the journal.
