Re: [CODE4LIB] Is ISNI / ISO 27729:2012 a name identifier or an entity identifier?

My reading of that suggests that http://isni-url.oclc.nl/isni/000122816316 shouldn't have both "Bell, Currer" and "Brontë, Charlotte", which it clearly does... Is this is a case of one of our sources of truth doesn't distinguish betweens identities and entities and we're allowing it to pol

Re: [CODE4LIB] Is ISNI / ISO 27729:2012 a name identifier or an entity identifier?

Thank you for (and Janifer Gatenby) for this answer. My reading of this is that people who change their name when they marry don't get a new ISNI, but those who change it when they transition gender do, because that's a new identify. That's useful to know. cheers stuart On 06/19/2014 12:11

Re: [CODE4LIB] Is ISNI / ISO 27729:2012 a name identifier or an entity identifier?

Re: [CODE4LIB] Does 'Freedom to Read' require us to systematically privilege HTTPS over HTTP?

EZproxy already handles HTTPS connections for HTTPS enabled services today, and on modern hardware (i.e. since circa 2005), cryptographic processing far surpasses the speed of most network connections, so I do not accept the “it’s too heavy” argument against it supporting the HTTPS to HTTP funct

Re: [CODE4LIB] Does 'Freedom to Read' require us to systematically privilege HTTPS over HTTP?

One of the reasons that EZProxy is so fast and resource-efficient is that it is very lightweight. HTTPS to HTTP processing would require that EZProzy, or another proxy layer behind it, provide an HTTPS endpoint. Building this into EZProxy, I think, would not be a good fit for their model. I think

Re: [CODE4LIB] Is ISNI / ISO 27729:2012 a name identifier or an entity identifier?

Hi Richard, Thanks for posting, and thanks to Janifer Gatenby for supplying the answer. So my assumption that if someone uses/has a pseudonym, it always refers to a different public identity was wrong? Who decides what should become just a new name for an existing identity, and what a different i
