Identifier Registry

Identifier Registry is a system for managing identifiers for books and sheet music intended for public use, and continuously published publications. The system provides features for the management of the following identifiers:

• International Standard Book Number (ISBN)
• International Standard Music Number (ISMN)
• International Standard Serial Number (ISSN)

The system is based on Joomla! CMS platform. The registry includes two parts that each include a component and a content plugin. The components contain the backend features for library officers and the content plugins offer public applications forms for the users.

• ISBN & ISMN registry
  • com_isbnregistry
  • plg_content_isbnregistry_forms
• ISSN registry
  • com_issnregistry
  • plg_content_issnregistry_forms

ISBN & ISMN registry and ISSN registry are independet of each other, and it's possible to install and use both or only one of them. The backend components can be used also without the content plugins, but the use of the content plugins is not possible without the backend components.

More detailed information about the system can be foung on the wiki section.
