International music data standards organisation DDEX has signed a liaison agreement with the International Standard Name Identifier-International Agency (ISNI-IA) in acknowledgment of their shared interests in identifiers and music industry workflows.
ISNI is the ISO-certified, global standard number for identifying the millions of contributors to creative works and those active in their distribution, including researchers, inventors, writers, artists, visual creators, performers, producers, publishers, aggregators, and more.
