Abstract: After two surveys and transactional analysis, NISO's I2 Working Group is ready to move forward to finalize the metadata required to define the indentifier, consider options for other identifier standardsm ensure legacy systems are addressedm and explore possible registries and maintenance agencies. Next steps for the identifier standard will be discussed along with the need for support for testing and plans for implementation within the e-resource supply chain, insitutional repository sector, and library resource management (ILL).

58.1% of repositories include identifiers for themselves 46.1% of repositories include identifiers for their organizations 74.2% of repositories that include institutional identifiers also include identifiers for institutional subdivisions 37.5% use systems to assign – Handle.net, Dspace, DNs, OCLC, ISIL, ePrints, EDINA, CDL 41.7% use manual processes to assign – repository team, single individual, outside department 9.7% use a combination 31.9% have yet to encounter any issues they would consider potentially solvable by standardized institutional identifiers 14.9% state a standardized ii would have helped track institutions across name changes, disambiguate similarly-named institutions, and tie collections to institutions 10.6% would havehlped identify and enumerate organizational unites, esp in multi-lingual units 8.5% would have helped tie authors to institutions 56.6% not used for other librasry activities 22.6% are used in other contexts 60.3% important to have single identifier Other issues – little agreement – assignment of identifiers, 1/3 prefer to reflect hierarchy in the identifiers, agency best suited to manage Metadata – CORE – institution name element,
