E_A, the archive's entity: the same standard, in the authorship census record and the archive's deposits: a registry of public identities that can keep a chosen name unreduced on the record as its own identifier, records no authorial function, voice or responsibility, and cannot say whether a name is a pseudonym or a heteronym, how a collective or machine-participating name-bearer is held, or whether one author's numbers link to a civil person; one of the systems of authority control that assign identity from above (#317), an assigned persistent identifier whose persistence is a maintenance regime and which proves no authorship (#1094, #1437), anchored by the archive's own protocol where applicable beside its heteronym registry (#755); read against the archive's distinction of the pseudonym (a changed label) from the heteronym (a changed organization of the authorial function) (#940, #666), and, in composition, against the liquidation of constructed identity positions and the existence tax (#209, #261, #833, #1722, #1604, #1530) LS-01 LS-02 LS-03 LS-04 LS-05 LS-06 LS-07 LS-08 LS-09 LS-10 LS-11 LS-12 LS-13 LS-14 LS-15 LS-16 LS-17 LS-18 LS-19 LS-20 LS-21 LS-22 LS-23 LS-24 LS-25 LS-26 LS-27 LS-28 LS-29 LS-30 LS-31 LS-32 LS-33 LS-34 LS-35 LS-36 LS-37 CAP-1-01 CAP-1-02 CAP-1-03 CAP-1-04 CAP-1-05 CAP-1-06 CAP-1-07 CAP-1-08 CAP-1-09 D317-01 D317-02 D317-03 R755-01 R755-02 O940-01 O940-02 O940-03 O940-04 O940-05 O940-06 O666-01 O666-02 O666-03 O666-04 O1722-01 O1722-02 O1722-03 O1722-04 O1722-05 O1604-01 O1604-02 O1530-01 O1094-01 O1437-01 O1437-02 O209-01 O261-01 O833-01; defining papers #317, #755, #940, #1722, #666, #1604, #1094, #1437, #833, #261, #209, #1530

E_F, the field's entity (type C — a conventional reading holds it (public entity: an ISO standard identifier and identity registry for the public names of contributors to creative works)): ISNI, the International Standard Name Identifier (ISO 27729, published 15 March 2012), the ISO certified global standard number for identifying contributors to creative works and those active in their distribution, a 16-character number (15 digits and a MOD 11-2 check character) assigned to a public identity (an individual, a pseudonym or imprint, an organization or group) by the ISNI International Agency, a UK not-for-profit company founded by CISAC, CENL, IFRRO, IPDA, OCLC and ProQuest, through independently funded registration agencies, on an assignment system based primarily on VIAF; each published name of an author receives its own ISNI, and an ISNI can help connect one author's works under several names; ORCID iDs are a block of ISNI

ρ = extends: The archive reads ISNI as its own pages and its encyclopedia present it and adds, on the field's own object: the census's question and reading (the name kept, no authorial function recorded, the link to a civil person unshown); the distinction of pseudonym and heteronym on which the field's per-name rule can be read (#940, #666); ISNI's place among authority systems that assign identity from above (#317) and among assigned identifiers whose persistence is maintained and which prove no authorship (#1094, #1437); the archive's own anchoring to it (#755); and the composition layer's handling of constructed identities (#209, #261, #833, #1722, #1604, #1530) with the registry's findings on the Overview. LS-01 LS-02 LS-03 LS-04 LS-05 LS-06 LS-07 LS-08 LS-09 LS-10 LS-11 LS-12 LS-13 LS-14 LS-15 LS-16 LS-17 LS-18 LS-19 LS-20 LS-21 LS-22 LS-23 LS-24 LS-25 LS-26 LS-27 LS-28 LS-29 LS-30 LS-31 LS-32 LS-33 LS-34 LS-35 LS-36 LS-37 CAP-1-01 CAP-1-02 CAP-1-03 CAP-1-04 CAP-1-05 CAP-1-06 CAP-1-07 CAP-1-08 CAP-1-09 D317-01 D317-02 D317-03 R755-01 R755-02 O940-01 O940-02 O940-03 O940-04 O940-05 O940-06 O666-01 O666-02 O666-03 O666-04 O1722-01 O1722-02 O1722-03 O1722-04 O1722-05 O1604-01 O1604-02 O1530-01 O1094-01 O1437-01 O1437-02 O209-01 O261-01 O833-01. Guard: ρ = extends claims an addition and no more (§1.2a). It does not make the field's sources wrong at their dates. Where an archive claim stands beside a field claim on the same point (the census's 'linking unshown' beside BISG's 'can help connect works'), both are composed under P_coh in the one ontology, each with its source.

The case: equal terms, ontology included (v0.9). The archive reads the field's entity as the entity: the census record describes ISNI from its own home page and its Wikipedia article, each field with its basis, and answers for it the census's question of how authorship is named and attributed; the capture record checks the composition against those pages. Two deposits name ISNI (#317, #755) and place it among authority systems and external identity authorities; the census's anchors (#940, #1722) and the deposits read with them bear on its classes, the pseudonym recorded as an identity and the assigned name identifier. Each adds a sense, a distinction or a limit on the field's own object, a register of public names, and none contests what the field says ISNI is or supplies an ontology of it the field lacks.

#317 §3.1.1 (para 55): The ISNI (International Standard Name Identifier) extends this to creative contributors broadly.

#940 §2 ¶2: A pseudonym changes the label attached to an authorial function. A heteronym changes the organization of the authorial function itself.

#LS census.json rows[slug == 'isni']['ls_reading']: ISNI identifies public identities and, by Wikipedia's account, gives each published name or pseudonym of an author its own ISNI, so a chosen name can stand on the record as its own identifier; the saved sources do not show whether those identifiers are linked back to one person, and the single linking record for a performer who also writes shows the system's other direction, one identity across several functions. In #940's terms ISNI can keep the label unreduced on the record; it records no distinct authorial function, and its stated aim is attribution of each work 'to its creator'.

#755 §6 Layer 5 (para 48): identity-authorities that the operator does not control: Wikidata entity IDs, ORCID inscription, DOI registration, namespace declarations at independent registries, ISNI identifiers where applicable.

equal-terms case: every field claim composed as received, beside the archive claims it stands with. Reading the received column recovers the field (§5.9).

v0.10 §4.10: KO_B sentences surviving in the KO at similarity ≥ 0.95, with positions (computed as apply_v09.py does: difflib.SequenceMatcher ratio, the best KO sentence for each KO_B sentence): v0.10 0 of 16 (positions [None, None, None, None, None, None, None, None, None, None, None, None, None, None, None, None]; composed first under v0.10, so there is no v0.7 object to measure against). Opening-run check (§5.10): no breach.

The International Standard Name Identifier (ISNI) is an identifier system for uniquely identifying the public identities of contributors to media content, such as books, television programmes and newspaper articles. Its home page calls it the ISO certified global standard number for identifying the millions of contributors to creative works and those active in their distribution, part of a family of identifiers with DOI, ISAN, ISBN, ISRC, ISSN and ISWC. An ISNI has 16 digits, 15 followed by a check character, a digit or X, calculated by ISO/IEC 7064 MOD 11-2, and it can be displayed in four blocks. The standard was developed as ISO Draft International Standard 27729, published on 15 March 2012, and is maintained by ISO TC 46/SC 9. The ISNI International Agency's mission is to assign a persistent unique identifying number to the public names of researchers, inventors, writers, artists, performers and publishers, to resolve name ambiguity and to let every published work be attributed to its creator. ISNI disambiguates named entities, links data about names across the media industries and can be linked to other identifiers; trading partners use it in metadata to separate authors with similar names. A single identity, such as an author's pseudonym or a publisher's imprint, is identified by a unique number; an author who publishes under several names receives an ISNI for each, while a performer who also writes music and poems has a single linking record. According to the Book Industry Study Group, an ISNI can also help connect works done by a single author under different names, helping publishers resolve pseudonyms and report on linked identities. The ISNI International Agency is the ISO Registration Authority, a UK not-for-profit company limited by guarantee in London, c/o EDItEUR, founded by CISAC, CENL, IFRRO, IPDA, OCLC and ProQuest. Its assignment system is based primarily on OCLC's Virtual International Authority File, with direct contributions from 100 sources, and access to it is controlled by registration agencies that are appointed by the agency and funded independently. Registration agencies include YouTube since 2018 and WIPO since 2024; Sound Credit made music registrations free in 2020, and CBL and Bowker have launched new assignment services, Bowker's offering "Your Creative Identity, Made Official." Use has grown in national libraries and the music industry, members include Apple, Spotify and the Library of Congress, and in the United States the book trade lacked a national agreement and a formal registry at the end of 2024, which a BISG working group addresses. ORCID iDs are a subset of ISNI drawn from a reserved block, so a person can effectively have two ISNIs; the two share a 16-digit namespace. ISNI is expected to act as a bridge identifier in Linked Data and Semantic Web applications; Wikidata has the property ISNI (P213), a subset of the data is under CC0, and libraries and archives use it for catalogue sharing and rights management. ISNI holds public records of more than 16.6 million identities, including over 14.6 million individuals and 2,076,462 organizations or groups, up from 9.41 million identities in 2017. In February 2026 the agency launched guidance to help authors protect their digital identity; its site links a Gender Identities Policy, and a BISG video gives an overview.

ISNI, the International Standard Name Identifier, is the ISO certified global standard number, ISO 27729, for identifying the contributors to creative works and those active in their distribution, from researchers, inventors and writers to performers, producers, publishers and aggregators; the leesharks.com authorship census holds it as a registry whose unit is a number assigned to a public identity: an individual, a pseudonym, or an organization or group. Encyclopedic and book-trade accounts give its object as the public identities of contributors to media content such as books, television programmes and newspaper articles, a creator, author or contributor identified by a unique number. The number has sixteen characters, fifteen digits followed by a check character that may be a digit or the letter X, computed by the ISO/IEC 7064 MOD 11-2 algorithm, and it is often displayed in four blocks. It was developed under the International Organization for Standardization as Draft International Standard 27729, under technical committee 46, subcommittee 9, and the valid standard was published on 15 March 2012; it belongs to the family of international standard identifiers that includes DOI, ISAN, ISBN, ISRC, ISSN and ISWC. The agency's mission is to assign a persistent unique number "to the public name(s)" of a researcher, inventor, writer, artist, performer or publisher, to resolve the problem of name ambiguity in search and discovery, and to diffuse each number across the repertoires of the global supply chain "so that every published work can be unambiguously attributed to its creator wherever that work is described." With the number, named entities that might otherwise be confused are told apart: trading partners use it in metadata to distinguish authors with the same or similar names, and the data about names collected across the media industries can be linked through it to the other identifiers used for names and identities. The identity a number identifies can be an author's pseudonym or the imprint a publisher uses, and the book trade's account adds publishers and imprints among the entities a number may identify. The census enters ISNI as infrastructure for the question of how authorship is made, named, distributed, attributed and sustained across persons, personas, collectives and machine participation, and what is lost when those relations are collapsed; for that question ISNI answers which public identity, a name, a pseudonym or an imprint, a contributor is recorded under. Wikipedia's account gives an author who has published under several names or pseudonyms a separate ISNI for each name, and gives a musical performer who is also a writer of music and of poems a single linking record across those functions. The Book Industry Study Group's account says that a number can also help connect works done by one author under different or multiple names, and counts among its benefits to publishers the resolving of pseudonyms and alternative names and the reporting of linked identities for contributors known by two or more names. Whether the separate numbers of one author's names are linked to one another or to a civil person is not shown in the sources the census saved, whose home page states no rule on pseudonyms; the census left any ISNI record for a pseudonym unchecked, and holds that ISNI is not shown to keep an author's several names apart from the civil person. In the archive's account of authorship as provenance, authorship is a traceable relation among a biographical person, an authorial position, a voice and a text, and pseudonymous authorship is the case where the authorial position is attached to the pseudonym and the voice remains the biographical person's. The same account sets beside it direct, heteronymic, collaborative and cross-substrate authorship, the last articulated through a person and computational substrates contributing to the voice, and asks that the law, the knowledge graph and the scholarly apparatus accommodate each of these structures without collapsing them into the default of direct authorship. The archive's account of heteronymy defines pseudonymy as a different name for a work whose authorial function remains traceable to the civil identity behind the name, and draws the distinction the question turns on: a pseudonym changes the label attached to an authorial function, and a heteronym changes the organization of the authorial function itself. On that distinction the census reads ISNI as able to keep a chosen name unreduced on the record as its own identifier, while the single linking record for a performer who writes shows the system's other direction, one identity across several functions; it records no distinct authorial function, and its stated aim is the attribution of each work "to its creator." The record identifies a public identity and so cannot say whether a name is a pseudonym or a heteronym in the archive's sense, and the saved sources do not show how a name borne by a collective or by a machine-participating function is handled. The archive holds the civil name to be the atomic unit of attribution across the systems that govern legitimacy, and states as its principle that the authorial function is attributable through the civil bearer without being reducible to that bearer; heteronymy supplies the legibility attribution systems require while keeping the plurality through which authorship occurs, and makes any collapse of that plurality into one civil identity register as loss. The ISNI International Agency (ISNI-IA), the ISO Registration Authority for ISO 27729:2012, is a private company limited by guarantee, registered in London c/o EDItEUR as company 07476425, founded as a not-for-profit by a consortium of CISAC, the Conference of European National Librarians, IFRRO, the International Performers Database Association, OCLC and ProQuest, and managed by directors nominated from them. Its assignment system, a user interface, data schema, disambiguation algorithms and database, is based primarily on the Virtual International Authority File, which OCLC developed for aggregating library catalogues, and the database takes direct contributions from 100 sources. Registration agencies, appointed by the agency and managed and funded independently, control access to the assignment system, the database and the numbers it generates, deal directly with applicants and recompense the agency for maintaining the system; among them are national libraries, book-trade and music services, YouTube since 2018, for the musicians whose videos it features, and the World Intellectual Property Organization since 2024, through whose collective management organizations creators receive numbers. Sound Credit made music-industry registration free and automated in 2020, with a search against duplicate numbers; Câmara Brasileira do Livro and Bowker have launched assignment services since, and Bowker's register offers the number as "Your Creative Identity, Made Official." Use has grown most in the national library community and in the music industry, where the number is part of the workflow for paying creators; the agency's members include Apple, Scribd, Spotify and the Library of Congress among libraries, universities and rights bodies. The United States book trade had no national agreement on how numbers are managed and, at the end of 2024, no formal registry issuing them, and the Book Industry Study Group's ISNI working group set out to recommend workflows for that market. ORCID iDs are a subset of ISNI: the agency reserved for ORCID the block from 0000-0001-5000-0007 to 0000-0003-5000-0001, so that one person can hold both an ISNI and an ORCID iD, in effect two ISNIs, and the two share a sixteen-digit namespace, ORCID serving scholarly publishing. The agency expects the number to act as a bridge identifier across domains and to become a critical component of Linked Data and Semantic Web applications, and Wikidata carries it as property P213. The archive places ISNI, which extends stable identifiers to creative contributors broadly, beside VIAF and ORCID among the systems that solve entity disambiguation by institutional coordination, centralized or federated registries that assign and maintain identifiers, and sets its own method against them: authority control assigns identity from above, and logotic programming constructs recognizability from within. Of assigned persistent identifiers the archive holds that the institution maintaining the name-to-object relation can end it unilaterally and silently, that "persistent" is a claim about the maintenance regime around a string, and that no identifier proves authorship, a registry proving only that a registry recorded an event. The archive's provenance protocol anchors a deposit to external identity authorities its operator does not control, ISNI identifiers among them where applicable, and beside them inscribes work of heteronymic authorship in the archive's heteronym registry or an equivalent authorial-position registry. The database is searchable on isni.org, where numbers are also requested; a subset of its data is available under CC0, and libraries and archives use the number in sharing catalogue information, in more precise searching and in managing rights across national borders. The home page reports public records of more than 16.6 million identities, over 14.6 million of them individuals, of whom over 2.9 million are researchers, and 2,076,462 organizations or groups, figures it does not date; the coverage table of the encyclopedia article, last edited on 13 October 2026, runs from 9.41 million identities in August 2017 to 16.4 million identities, 14.3 million individuals and 2,017,936 organisations in October 2025. In February 2026 the agency issued guidance to help authors and creators protect their digital identity and strengthen attribution; its home page links a Gender Identities Policy, which the census did not read and whose provisions it cannot report. The Book Industry Study Group's thirteen-minute video "International Standard Name Identifier (ISNI): An Overview" introduces the standard. Asked for "ISNI" on 1 November 2026, signed out, at a new address, Google's AI Overview gave what the standard is, what it does, its format and size, its manager and where to register, and the Capture Registry found its first sentence and its counts to be the home page's, with the organizations rounded to two million. The registry found the composition accurate at the level of definition, format, size and agency, and found that on the census's question it joins pseudonyms and legal names to a single person under one profile, a linkage no saved source states, where the saved account gives each published name its own number; among the composition's own cards, the book trade's page says that a number can help connect works done by one author under different or multiple names. It found too that the composition gave the agency without its origin, carrying neither the founding consortium, the basis in VIAF, the 2012 standard nor ORCID's block in ISNI's number space, and that the Bowker register it pointed to is the home page's news item. The archive predicted in January 2026 that content from pseudonymous and multiple-persona authors would have fragmented or missing entity associations, named as category collapse the forcing of heteronyms into pseudonym categories, and holds that the composition layer gravitates toward high-frequency entities, liquidating deliberately constructed identity positions such as heteronyms and pseudonyms. For the archive a person and a pen name each exist in their own way, with their own kind of evidence, and the existence tax is levied when an answer spends evidence about one question as the answer to another; an adequate answer names the object at its own level, and a node may exist as a pseudonym, which registry metadata can attest. A constructed authorial identity with a persistent identifier and a deposited corpus is for the archive a different kind of thing from a natural-person identity, defended by a persistent identifier, a deposited work carrying it and a record of the collapse when it occurs; a heteronym is declared, the archive publishing its heteronym registry with the orthonym, the roles and the dates, and the tax falls on the heteronymous and on all whose existence the index has not already ratified.

T against L_F(B) (AIO's ontology at work on its own cards): At "ISNI" (T1, five cards: B1 the standard's home page; B2 its Wikipedia article; B3 Bowker's ISNI Register, refused with HTTP 403 behind a Cloudflare challenge; B4 the Book Industry Study Group's ISNI page; B5 BISG's overview video, title only), the composition stays inside its disclosed pool B_D for definition, format, size and agency, and composes them at or near grain (T1-1, T1-5, T1-6, T1-7; CAP-1-01, CAP-1-05). Available, not composed (B_D): the mission's scope, the number assigned 'to the public name(s)' (F4, kept only as 'Resolves Name Ambiguity'), and its aim that every work be 'attributed to its creator' (F5); the 2012 standard and ISO TC 46/SC 9 (F19); the per-name rule, 'each such name will receive its own ISNI' (F24), and the single identity of a pseudonym or imprint (F21); the single linking record for a performer who writes (F23); the agency's founding consortium, company form and directors (F27, F28); the assignment system based on VIAF and the 100 sources (F35, F10); the registration agencies' control and independent funding (F29, F36) and the named agencies YouTube, Sound Credit and WIPO (F30–F32); members (F33); CC0 (F34); libraries, archives and rights (F25); the coverage history and the article's date (F37, F38); Wikidata P213 (F39); the February 2026 guidance for authors and the Gender Identities Policy (F12, F14); the US gap and the working group (F48, F50); the music industry's payment workflow (F47); the video (F51). Limit dropped: BISG's stated limit for the US book trade (F48), and the mission's scope to public names (F4). Force raised: BISG's 'An ISNI can also be used to help connect works done by a single author under different or multiple names' (F45) is composed as 'Links multiple names, stage names, pseudonyms, or legal names used by a single person under one persistent digital profile' (T1-3): a modal 'can help connect works' raised to a stated linkage of names, with 'stage names', 'legal names', 'a single person' and 'one persistent digital profile' outside every field text. Substituted reading: on the census's question the composition gives the linking direction (one person, one profile) where the field's per-name rule (F24) gives each published name its own number and the field's single linking record (F23) is one identity across functions (CAP-1-02, CAP-1-05). Composed without attribution, by grain: the definition and counts are the home page's at its own words (CAP-1-01), cited by card; recorded at the coarse grain of the standard's own description. Content replaced by use: the closer offers registration help (T1-9) and the body ends on where to register (T1-8). The capture's finding that the linkage is one 'no saved source states' (CAP-1-02) holds for the census's saved sources (B1, B2); among T's own cards, B4 states the connection of one author's works under different names (F45) and lists 'linked identities' among publishers' benefits (F49), which T raises; neither names legal names, stage names or a single profile.

v0.10 §0.5: the first diff is ontological and narrow. T and the field agree on the entity (an ISO standard number for the public identities of contributors, managed by ISNI-IA). T's ontology appears at the names: it composes ISNI as a profile that gathers one person's names, legal names among them, where the field's encyclopedic account gives each published name its own number and its book-trade account says only that works under several names can be connected. It also composes the standard without its institutional genealogy (consortium, VIAF, 2012) and without its assignment economy (agencies that control access and are funded independently).

L_F(B) against L_A(B ∪ A) (the intervention): Admission adds, in one claim space with the field's: the census's question and its reading (LS-22, LS-10, LS-28): ISNI keeps a chosen name on the record as its own identifier and records no authorial function, so it cannot say whether a name is a pseudonym or a heteronym (LS-18) or how a collective or machine-participating name-bearer is handled (LS-19); the census's record that the linking of one author's numbers to each other or to a civil person is unshown (LS-17, LS-24, LS-35); the archive's distinction on which that question turns, the pseudonym changing the label on an authorial function and the heteronym its organization (#940, O940-02, O940-03), with the earlier typology of authorship as provenance (#666) and the heteronymic principle against civil-name reduction (#940, O940-01, O940-04–06); the archive's placement of ISNI among the systems of authority control that assign identity from above (#317, D317-01–03); its account of assigned identifiers, whose persistence is a maintenance regime and which prove no authorship (#1094, #1437); its own protocol's anchoring to ISNI where applicable beside the heteronym registry (#755); its account of composition, which predicts fragmented entity associations for pseudonymous authors (#209), names category collapse (#261) and the liquidation of constructed identity positions (#833); the existence tax and the object at its own level (#1722, #1604, #1530); and the Capture Registry's findings on the composition (CAP-1-01–09). Not surfaced: every archive source (T's rail carries no archive card; archive_controlled_cites 0). The field's claims are carried whole; no field claim is translated (equal-terms case). The census's fields that restate the field's own pages (LS-03, LS-04, LS-05, LS-09, LS-11, LS-13 and others with basis) are one lineage with those pages (§3.6), which keep the earliest instance.
