From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The International Standard Link Identifier (ISLI), is an identifier standard. ISLI is a universal identifier for links between entities in the field of information and documentation. It was developed by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) and published on May 15, 2015.[1] ISO/TC 46/SC 9 is responsible for the development of the ISLI standard.[2]

ISLI is used for identifying links between entities in the field of information and documentation. A linked entity can be physical, e.g. a print book or an electronic resource (text, audio, and video); or something abstract, e.g. a physical position within a frame of reference or the time of day. An Indian Standard IS-17316:2015 has been made adapting IS:17316:2015. The Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) has made the standard available for sale on their website and through their offices across India. The Gazette notification was done on the 7th of July, 2020 by the Govt of India. The ISLI Codes can be issued in India from https://www.isliindia.org free of cost. This will help standardise talking books in India also.
In the context of modern information technology, the application of resources in the field of information and documentation is increasingly getting diversified. Isolated content products can no longer satisfy the ever-increasing user demand.
Using a link identifier to build links between resources in the field of information and documentation provides a basis for a combined application of resources in the field, and supports collaborative creation of content and data interoperability between systems.
The openness of the ISLI system will boost the emergence of new applications in both multimedia and other fields, which increases the value of the linked-resources.
