This study day about ISSN facing the digital transition is organised by the French ISSN national centre, together with ISSN IC and ABES, the French bibliographic Agency for Higher Education. ISSN 40th anniversary is the opportunity to remind and illustrate the role of ISSN for reliable identification, access and preservation. The future revision of the 3297 ISO standard represents also the opportunity to gather the different stakeholders to discuss issues such as metadata production, workflows and exchange, online resources identification rules and interoperability of identifiers, at a time when linked data is becoming a reality.
This article, cowritten by Gaëlle Béquet, Director of the ISSN International Center, and presented during the IFLA Conference 2015, shows the essential relationship that exists between the communities involved in bibliographic description that has culminated recently with the work done on PRESSoo.
