ORCID identifiers in research workflowsSimeon Warner
ORCID addresses the name ambiguity problem by connecting unique identifiers for authors with their works (papers, grants, datasets and more), organizations, and other identifiers such as ISNI.
ORCID engages all sectors of the research community, including publishers, funders, universities, and the researchers themselves. Researchers have control over their ORCID record and save time by using their ORCID identifier during manuscript submission, dataset submission, or grant application. ORCID identifiers thus become embedded in the metadata and new works are published with identifiers already attached. This simplifies reporting and enhances discovery. Metadata about new works can also be pushed back to ORCID, automatically updating the researcher's record.

About the Webinar
In the world of authority control, it is a bit of an alphabet soup of acronyms. ORCID (Open Researcher and Contributor ID), which is a system to uniquely identify scientific and other academic authors; ISNI (International Standard Name Identifier), which identifies the public identities of contributors to media content such as books, television programs, and newspaper articles; and VIAF (Virtual International Authority File) a system that combines multiple name authority files into a single authority service, hosted by OCLC, all have their place when discussing identifiers for authority control.
Identity issues and disambiguating authors, researchers, other content creators, and their institutional affiliations are crucial as we move into a world of linked data. In this webinar, presenters will cover the implications and differences between ORCID, ISNI, and VIAF, what is the proper use of each, and some of the benefits that come with using authority files and making that information available on the Web.

Metadata: Standards Basics for the Independent Publishing Community, with Gra...bisg
The better your metadata, the better your sales: that's the simple truth. Books with complete metadata sell almost three times better than a book with incomplete metadata, so there's a very good reason to learn about how to format and transmit this information to your industry partners. But where to begin?
In this session, Graham Bell, Chief Data Architect at EDItEUR, will offer practical guidance on writing, formatting, and transmitting metadata in accordance with industry standards and best practices, and help to make your metadata work for you.
This is the third in a three-part series, co-produced by IBPA and hosted by BISG, aimed at demystifying several of the core book industry standards through "101"-style sessions presented by experts in the field.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

Who Are We, What Is It, What Can I Do With It and Why Does It Matter?
1. Who are we? what is it? what can I
do with it? – and why does it matter?
Some thoughts on identity and identification in an
increasingly complex environment

5. What are identifiers?
An identifier is a unique expression in a written
format either by a code, by numbers or by the
combination of both to distinguish variations from
one to another among a class of substances, items,
or objects….
In computer science, identifiers are lexical tokens
(that is, “nouns”) that name entities (or “things”). The
concept is analogous to that of a "name." Identifiers
are used extensively in virtually all information
processing systems.
Naming entities makes it possible to refer to
them, which is essential for any kind of symbolic
processing.
[Based on Wikipedia]
6. Why do we need identifiers?
Identifiers are “just” a special class of name
Unique within a given context
Why do we assign identifiers?
Collocation – to bring together instances of the same thing
Disambiguation – to distinguish things that are not the same
What does “the same” mean?
Whether things are or are not the same is always contextual
For example, an ISBN identifies a class of individual instances as
being “the same” for particular purposes – meaning is not
universal
Why does this matter?
Unambiguous communication…
…particularly from machine to machine (people don’t often use
unique identifiers in discourse – “that one over there” is usually
enough)
7. Why do we need standard identifiers?
When there is a need to communicate across
organizational boundaries – within any sort of
“supply chain”…
…particularly where anyone in the supply chain
needs to manage and aggregate information from
multiple sources
That means nearly everyone, particularly in a digital
supply chain
What matters about standard identifiers?
That their semantic should be clear to everyone…
…in other words, everyone in the chain knows what type
of thing they are identifying
8. Why do we need identifiers?
“The Web was designed as an information space, with the
goal that it should be useful not only for human–human
communication, but that also machines would be able to
participate… One of the major obstacles to this has been
the fact that most information on the Web was designed
for human consumption.”
Tim Berners-Lee The Semantic Web (1998)
9. So, if we are to make the semantic web a
reality…
We need to establish “chains of identifiers”
Identifiers with explicit and well understood semantics
We need to link them together with “relators” which
have well-defined semantics
We need to establish and manage the relationships that
are important to us
We need to be careful about trivializing the task
Everything is related to everything else at some level
Saying that two things “are the same” is complex,
because it is always contextual [an ISBN does not identify
“a book”]

The International Standard Text Code
Unambiguously identifies a textual work, even though it
may be published in many different forms (One ISTC
may link to many ISBNs)
For use in improved discovery services, collocation,
rights and royalties etc.
Identifies content separately from the products which
contain it
Also identifies the relationships between items of content
(ONIX for ISTC registration)

29. “Disambiguation – to distinguish things that
are not the same”
Under “Rules of assignment”, the 2005 revision of
the ISBN standard (ISO 2108) says:
Different product forms (e.g. hardcover, paperback,
Braille, audio-book, video, online electronic publication)
shall be assigned separate ISBNs
Each different format of an electronic publication (e.g.
‘.lit’, ‘.pdf’, ‘.html’, ‘.pdb’) that is published and made
separately available shall be given a separate ISBN.
Seemed adequate at the time but file format not
really an appropriate indicator of different products
30. What differentiates e-book products?
Ability to render book
Does it work on my device/platform/software?
User’s experience and usage rights
What can I do with it?
File format only part of the story. DRM is what really
differentiates e-book products and platforms
31. Why identify separate e-book products?
To ensure that the e-book ordered is the correct one
for the user’s e-reader device and/or software
platform
To enable bibliographic databases to provide
information about the different available versions of
an e-book
To facilitate electronic trading of e-books, particularly
where multiple formats are sold through the same
channel
To facilitate product level reporting of sales and
usage and facilitate management of e-book products
32. The e-book supply chain
For printed books, publishers assign ISBNs to each
format, and that product and it’s ISBN remains
constant throughout the supply chain
For e-books, there is an additional layer of
intermediaries providing conversion services to
publishers and producing new e-book products
Many publishers only produce a single generic file
format (e.g. “.epub” or “PDF”), and intermediaries or
Internet retailers add technical rights protection
(DRM) and create different formats/products
34. New ISBN rule introduced 2008
Since some publishers do not provide separate
ISBNs for each version and some customers,
including libraries, need unique identification of
products from different platforms with different
functionality…
If a publisher does not identify each format with a
separate ISBN, intermediaries/re-sellers may do so
on their behalf
Not ideal but a necessary compromise until publishers
assign their own ISBNs
Requires central bibliographic agency to collect and list
ISBNs and related metadata
35. What’s actually happening?
Everything. It’s like the 1960’s before ISBN.
Some publishers assign separate ISBNs to each
version
Some assign the same ISBN to all versions
Some publishers assign an ISBN to the epub file and
let third parties assign their own ISBNs or proprietary
identifiers to their versions
Sometimes these proprietary “ISBN-like” identifiers
actually duplicate ISBNs assigned to books already
published elsewhere
44. “Whether things are or are not the same is
always contextual”
Results of ISBN survey 2009/2010:
There is a need for each digital format to be
separately identified at various points in the supply
chain
However there seems to be a need for a more
abstract generic identifier to collocate different
versions of the same books
ISTC identifies underlying textual works and is a
potentially useful way of aggregating different
manifestations and their ISBNs regardless of media
45. “The use of a single ISBN would enable provider-neutral records and
act similarly to eISSNs. Open link resolution, federated search, and
unified discovery platforms would also benefit from the use of a single
eISBN.
It is also useful to have some sort of identifier by platform, particularly
for back-end vendor operations.”
Library comments from ISBNsurvey
“Essential to have a single 'matching point' to compare collections, pull-
in usage data, exclude already-purchased titles from lists, etc.
Useful to have a second ISBN for each platform as different platforms
have different DRM etc. Combined with a single ISBN for all formats,
would help to identify where we have purchased the same title from
more than one platform.”
46. In summary
The use of a single ISBN to identify multiple e-book
formats is confusing and potentially unsafe
If two things are given the same identifier it becomes
very hard to distinguish between them if/when we
need to
The International ISBN Agency continues to
recommend that publishers should assign ISBNs to
each e-book version separately available
(n.b.“version” needs defining)
…but we also need to use identifiers at higher levels
of abstraction (ISTC?)
Consistent application of standard identifiers is
essential
“particularly where anyone in the supply chain needs
48. We are getting better at automating license
communication

52. Some questions for discussion
At what level would you like to see manifestations
separately identified?
By channel?
By DRM / usage features?
Should 2 e-book versions from different channels but with
the same usage features share an ISBN
At what level would you like to see them collocated?
All manifestations regardless of media?
All e-books (but excluding print and audio)?
What can libraries do about it?
