Publishers of serials should apply to the International ISSN Centre or to their national
ISSN centre, if there is one, for ISSN for their serial publications.
Certain publications, such as yearbooks, annuals, monographic series, etc., should be
assigned an ISSN for the serial title (which will remain the same for all the parts or
individual volumes of the serial) and an ISBN for each individual volume. 
If ISBN and ISSN are assigned to a publication they must be both clearly identified. 
13.8 ISTC
The ISTC (International Standard Text Code) is a voluntary numbering system for the
efficient identification of textual works. The standard is being developed under the
auspices of ISO, the International Organization for Standardization, in Geneva.
The ISTC may be applied to any textual work whenever there is an intention to produce
such a work in the form of one or more manifestations. For the purposes of the standard,
 textual work  is defined as a distinct, abstract creation of intellectual or artistic content
composed of a combination of words. Examples of textual works are an article, an essay,
a novel, a screenplay, or a short story.
The ISTC will not be assigned to physical products or other manifestations of a work. Such
physical products (i.e., a printed book, a talking book, or the electronic versions of such
products) shall be assigned an ISBN.
The ISTC will enable the efficient identification and administration of textual works, not
publications, although it may be linked to product identifiers such as an ISBN, in order to
collocate the various manifestations of a textual work in applications. 
It will be a  dumb  number, meaning that it will not include any codes or other signifying
elements and will not indicate the work's author or owner.
The standard will be 16 hexadecimal digits in length using the numerals 0 
 9 and letters
A 
 F and will consist of four elements in the following order: the registration agency
element, the year element, the work element, and a check digit.
A consortium comprised of CISAC, Nielsen BookData and R.R. Bowker has been selected
to provide the future Registration Authority for the ISTC once ISO 21047 is approved
for publication.  For additional information on the ISTC Registration Authority, contact:

13.9 ISWC
The ISWC identifies musical works as intangible creations. It is not used to identify
manifestations of, or objects related to, musical works. Such manifestations and objects
are the subject of separate identification systems, such as ISRC, ISMN, ISAN and ISTC
(see descriptions of each of these identifiers elsewhere in section 13).
