ITPEC IP October 2019 Question 73
ITPEC IP October 2019 — Question 73 of 100
ISBN is the international standard identifier assigned to books and book-like publications. An ISBN uniquely identifies a particular title, edition, and format, helping publishers, booksellers, libraries, and distributors manage publications.
Answer (a)
Why not others:
- ITF is a barcode symbology often used for distribution and packaging
- JAN is the Japanese Article Number used to identify commercial products
- QR is a two-dimensional code capable of storing many kinds of data, not a book-specific international identifier
Key rule: ISBN identifies book publications; product and barcode standards such as JAN, ITF, and QR serve broader identification or encoding purposes.
