Welcome to ISAN PL ISAN (International Standard Audiovisual Number) is an international numbering system for audiovisual works. It provides a unique, permanent, internationally recognized reference number for each work as well as the collection of meta-data associated with each work. ISAN allows the identification of works throughout their life cycle and is independent of the various physical forms (media) in which a given work exists or is distributed. ISAN is universal. It is based on the ISO 15706 standard, which gives it formalism and an organized structure. The advantages gained by using ISAN are universal as well. ISAN identification provides a foundation for electronic data exchange of audiovisual work information, such as films, television productions, Internet media and games. It is a key identifier for the commercial exploitation of completed works. ISAN's uses include basic archival identification, rights management, royalties management, cooperation with television program guides and measuring audience size.
