“…Leur analyse dans la phase d'initialisation de la base de données centrale a permis l'identification des problèmes et l'amélioration des algorithmes de traitement automatique à travers les multiples itérations. Depuis novembre 2011, ce rôle est confirmé comme un des garants de la qualité de l'identification via la création de l'instance « Quality Team » au sein de l'ISNI-IA (Gatenby et Kil 2011). On l'aura compris, l'élément clé pour la réussite du système ISNI est la fiabilité de l'identification. Attribuer un ISNI est en soi un acte de confiance.…”

Depuis longtemps, les organismes qui gèrent des données relatives aux personnes et collectivités impliquées dans les différentes étapes de la vie des productions intellectuelles attendaient un identifiant unique, international, pouvant servir de passerelle entre les différents systèmes et bases de données et faciliter la circulation de l’information. ISNI (International Standard Name Identifier) a été élaboré pour répondre à cette attente. Cet article décrit les étapes du projet depuis sa gestation jusqu’à la mise en place du système de gestion. Il en expose les enjeux dans l’environnement numérique.Organisations have been managing data about persons and groups involved in the different stages of the life of intellectual productions for a long time. They have also been waiting for a unique international identifier that could be used as a bridge between different systems and data bases, thus making the transfer of information easier. The International Standard Name Identifier (ISNI) was developed to meet this need. The different stages of the development and implementation of this management system are described in this article. It also outlines some of the challenges associated with the numeric environment.Desde hace tiempo, los organismos que gestionan los datos relativos a las personas y a las colectividades involucradas en las diferentes etapas de las producciones intelectuales necesitaban un identificador único, internacional, que sirviera de enlace entre los distintos sistemas y bases de datos, y que permitiera facilitar la circulación de información.

Researcher Name Resolver: identifier management system for Japanese researchers

et al. 2014

We built a researcher identifier management system called the Researcher Name Resolver (RNR) to assist with the name disambiguation of authors in digital libraries on the Web. RNR, which is designed to cover all researchers in Japan, is a Web-oriented service that can be openly connected with external scholastic systems. We expect it to be widely used for enriched scholarly communications. In this paper, we first outline the conceptual framework of RNR, which is jointly focused on researcher identifier management and Web resource linking. We based our researcher identifier scheme on the reuse of multiple sets of existing researcher identifiers belonging to the Japanese grant Researcher identifiers are associated by direct links to related resources on the Web through a combination of methods, including descriptive mapping, focused crawling on campus directories and researcher identification by matching names and affiliations. Second, we discuss our implementation of RNR based on this framework. Researcher identifiers construct uniform resource identifiers to show Web pages that describe researcher profiles and provide links to related external resources. We have adapted Web-friendly technologies-e.g., OpenSearch and the RDFs of Linked Data technology-in this implementation to provide Webfriendly services. Third, we discuss our application of RNR to a name disambiguation task for the search portal of the Japanese Institutional Repositories Online to determine how well the researcher identifier management system cooperates with external systems. Finally, we discuss lessons learned from the entire project as well as the future development directions we intend to take.
