The FAQ of the isni.org websites states "An ISNI is made up of 16 digits, the last character being a check character." In display it is frequently shown with spaces. The ISNI allows a single identity (such as an author's pseudonym or the imprint used by a publisher) to be identified using a unique number. This unique number can then be linked to any of the
Opposite group Opposite group In group theory, a branch of mathematics, an opposite group is a way to construct a group from another group that allows one to define right action as a special case of left action. Monoids, groups, rings, and algebras can be viewed as categories with a single object. The construction of the opposite category generalizes the opposite group, opposite ring, etc. Let formula_1 be a group under the operation formula_2. The opposite group of formula_1, denoted formula_4, has the same underlying set as formula_1, and its group operation formula_6 is defined by formula_7. If formula_1 is abelian, then
