International Skill Address (ISA)

International Skill Address (ISA) is a permanent address to an scholarly online skill. The International Skill Address (ISA) is a modern article address. ISA is a fixed permanent international skill address which auto-finds the skill new address

ISA solves the following common problems of online skills:

Accessing Skill by ISA:

An ISA is a permanent address to an specific skill (example: ISA.zone/23633624786), the skill directly can be accessed simply by typing the ISA address in the internet browser. As example, find associated skill to this ISA: ISA.zone/23633624786 use following portal:

ISA Syntax Structure:

An ISA consisted of two parts, zone name separated by an slash from 11 digit article identification number: ISA.zone/11 digits. ISA is 22 length including zone name as following example: ISA.zone/23633624786:

According to the Advanced Science Index (ASI) standard, yous should explicitly display ISA in the described format on online published skill. ISA cannot be any arbitrary number. It is a self-verifiable number by ASI-V3 algorithm. To check the validity of a ISA, ISA validator portal is used.

History of Development of ISA:

Uniform Resource Locator (URL) invented in 1989. Its drawback is that when the URL of an skill is broken, the reader cannot access the skill. To solve this problem, Direct Object Identifier (DOI) was introduced by DOI Foundation in the US in 1998. A DOI is an assigned fixed URL to an skill's actual URL. Thus, if the actual skill URL changes, the publisher should adjust the new URL of the skill to its DOI URL via publisher account, and if the publisher does not adjust the new URL to the Askill DOI URL, the DOI URL will not work. International skill Identification Number (ISA) was introduced on 2014 by Advanced Science Index (ASI) in Germany as a permanent URL to skill partly similar to DOI but with this difference that ISA address also keeps skill metadata on a separate server from skill server. If the actual skill URL is broken ISA server detects it and will load the only skill metadata instead with suggestions about possible new URLs of the skill. Also, the publisher does not need to adjust the new URL of skill manually, ISA server finds the new URL of the skill automatically and adjust it to its ISA address.
