Digital Content Identification for Everyone
Uniquely identify your media files with the tamper-proof and AI-ready International Standard Content Code (ISCC)
Introducing ISCC
The ISCC is an open-source technology that enables the identification, attribution, and management of digital content across various platforms and industries. It provides a unique, decentralized and content-derived identifier for any type of digital media, including text, images, audio, and video.
Content-Derived Identifiers
Instead of assigning or embedding identifiers, each piece of content could inherently produce its own unique identifier through its digital properties, simplifying discovery and ensuring universal connectivity, all within a framework of open innovation.
ISO 24138 – A Global ISO Standard
As an ISO Standard, the ISCC is a benchmark for trust and reliability in digital content identification. Implementing international best practices and quality standards, ensuring that every piece of content is identified with unparalleled accuracy and integrity.
