The resulting code is a GTIN whose GS1Prefix is 977, 978, or 979.7.1.7.1 ISBN and ISMNISBN and ISMN codes are used for books and printed music, respectively. The codes aredefined by ISO (ISO 2108 for ISBN and ISO 10957 for ISMN) and administered by theInternational ISBN Agency (http://www.isbn-international.org/) and affiliated nationalregistration agencies. ISMN is a separate organization (http://www.ismninternational.org/)but its management and coding structure are similar to the ones ofISBN.While these codes are not assigned by GS1, they have a very similar internal structurethat readily lends itself to similar treatment when creating EPCs. An ISBN code consistsof the following parts, shown below with the corresponding concept from the GS1system:Prefix Element +Registrant Group Element = GS1 Prefix (978 or 979 plus more digits)Registrant Element = Remainder of GS1 Company PrefixPublication Element = Item ReferenceCheck Digit= Check DigitThe Registrant Group Elements are assigned to ISBN registration agencies, who in turnassign Registrant Elements to publishers, who in turn assign Publication Elements toindividual publication editions. This exactly parallels the construction of GTIN codes.As in GTIN, the various components are of variable length, and as in GTIN, eachpublisher knows the combined length of the Registrant Group Element and RegistrantElement, as the combination is assigned to the publisher. The total length of the “978” or“979” Prefix Element, the Registrant Group Element, and the Registrant Element is in therange of 6 to 12 digits, which is exactly the range of GS1 Company Prefix lengthspermitted in the SGTIN EPC. The ISBN and ISMN can thus be used to constructSGTINs as specified in this standard.To find the EPC URI corresponding to the combination of an ISBN or ISMN and a serialnumber, the following procedure SHALL be used. For the purpose of the proceduredefined above in Section 7.1, the GS1 Company Prefix portion of the EPC shall beconstructed by concatenating the ISBN/ISMN Prefix Element (978 or 979), theRegistrant Group Element, and the Registrant Element. The Item Reference for theprocedure shall be the digits of the ISBN/ISMN Publication Element. The Indicator Digitfor the procedure shall be zero.Example:ISBN: 978-81-7525-766-5Corresponding SGTIN-EPC: urn:epc:id:sgtin:978817525.0766.SerialCopyright ©2005- 2011 GS1 AISBL, All Rights Reserved.
