You can modify (enhance) an ISNI record in the ISNI web portal by supplying additional information to the record: name variants, dates, language, gender, or nationality, related people or organizations, titles of works created by the person, creation class and role, and information from outside sources. Editing a record may involve various actions, from simply adding a note to linking to records for related names. By enhancing a record and adding more fields to a provisional record, its status may be upgraded and changed from "provisional" to "assigned." See the Data Quality Policy for information on data completeness.
It is not necessary to modify an assigned record only to add a PCC identifier and a name that matches a name that is already present. Similarly, adding information such as dates, nationality, creation roles, etc., that duplicates information already present does not add significant value. However, adding a PCC identifier and a name to a provisional record can help to turn it into an assigned record.

There must be a Name field that corresponds to each source identifier. In other words, when you add the PCC identifier to a record, you also have to add a Name field, even if it duplicates an existing name from another source. To add a form of name click the + beside "Add Name." Add your preferred form of name in the boxes. It is possible for a PCC contributor to change the name that it or another PCC contributor entered, but remember that in the public ISNI display, all names and variants are displayed together in alphabetical order.
To add a variant name, click the + beside "Add Name variant." Add your variant form of name in the boxes. (N.B. As explained on the Principles page, ISNI is a system of identifiers, not an authority file. It is not necessary to record a variant for each permutation of a name.)
