ID isbn

DatatypeNot PIIidentifier

ISO 2108 identifier of a book edition, in either of its two forms: the 10-character ISBN used until 2007, whose last character is a check digit or X (isbn10), and the 13-digit ISBN with the prefix 978 or 979 used since then (isbn13). Use this record when a column mixes both forms. The regexp accepts the compact form and the form with hyphens or spaces between the parts.
