isie

isie is a lowercase term that does not have a single, universally recognized meaning. In written references, it may function as an acronym in uppercase, a proper name, or simply a string of letters that appears as part of a larger term. Consequently, articles about "isie" typically specify the intended sense.

A common usage is as an acronym for the International Society for Industrial Ecology (ISIE). This international professional organization focuses on the study of industrial ecology, sustainability, and related methods such as life cycle assessment and material flow accounting. It operates as a network for researchers, educators, and practitioners and supports activities such as conferences, working groups, and publications.

Beyond this and similar organizations, "isie" may occur as a personal name, transliteration, or component of longer terms in various languages and contexts. Because capitalization and regional usage differ, identifying the intended reference relies on surrounding information.

In encyclopedic practice, readers encountering the term should look for clarifying context to determine whether the reference is to a specific organization, a name, or another usage. If a source uses uppercase ISIE, it often signifies an acronym for a particular entity; otherwise, the meaning may be determined by nearby explanatory text.
