lisastandardid

Lisastandardid is a generic term used in library and information science contexts to describe a unique identifier assigned to a standard within catalogs, registries, or metadata systems. It is not an official, globally mandated standard, but rather a concept employed to illustrate how standards can be referenced unambiguously across platforms, languages, and revisions.

Format and governance of lisastandardid vary by organization. Common designs combine an issuing-body prefix, a standard number, and a year or revision indicator, with separators such as hyphens or slashes. Examples might appear as LIS-STD/ISO-1234-2021 or LIS-STD/IEC-2019-007, with additional suffixes for edition or amendment where applicable. Because there is no single governing authority, implementations are typically governed by local cataloging policies and data exchange agreements.

Usage and purpose. Lisastandardid serves to enable precise linking of metadata, documents, and catalog records across systems. It supports search, retrieval, version tracking, and interoperability between libraries, publishers, and standards bodies. In practice, lisastandardid is often used alongside established identifiers such as ISO standard numbers, national designations, ISBNs for published documents, and DOIs for online versions.

Limitations and considerations. The concept relies on coordination among participating organizations; without a central authority, there can be fragmentation or inconsistent mappings between lisastandardid values and official standard numbers. Effective use usually requires clear governance, documentation, and mapping to existing identifiers.
