Abstract

This article focuses on identifiers and identification systems (IS) from a library perspective. The possibility for linking different IS with metadata and related services has changed the patterns of institutional identification systems. The visibility of creative and scientific content on the Net depends on reliable identification. So also is the ability of a user to select material freely and without distortion from any commercial influence. The Overview table provided in this article may give the impression that the library community has the major role in determining what type of identifier will become the most useful and ubiquitous.
