International Standard Text Code (ISTC) - a numbering system to uniquely identify text-based works, was published as an ISO standard in 2009. Unlike the ISBN, the ISTC identifies a "work" rather than a "product" and allows linking together of publications with the same basic content. For example, Sense and Sensibility is a "work" that is available as many different "products" that are packaged in many formats (paperback, hardcover, ebook, etc.) by various publishers. Each of these products should have a unique ISBN but should carry the same ISTC, allowing the entire range of choices to be easily retrieved and displayed to consumers on bookseller websites.
