Could someone with access to the official text of ISO 27729:2012 tell me whether an ISNI is a name identifier or an entity identifier? That is, if someone changes their name (adopts a pseudonym, changes their name by to marriage, transitions gender, etc), should they be assigned a new identifier? If the answer is 'No' why is this called a 'name identifier'? Ideally someone with access to the official text would update the article at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Standard_Name_Identifier With a brief quote referenced to the standard with a page number. [The context of this is ORCID, which is being touted as an entity identifier, while not being clear on whether it's a name or entity identifier.] cheers stuart
