JavaScript parsing of various identifiers Based on ISBN Users' Manual (http://www.isbn.org/standards/home/isbn/international/html/usm4.htm) and the Wikipedia treatment of ISBN (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Standard_Book_Number) and the Wikipedia treatment of ISSN (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Standard_Serial_Number) and the Wikipedia treatment of SICI (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serial_Item_and_Contribution_Identifier) This will also check ISMN validity, although it does not distinguish from their neighbors in namespace, ISBN-13. It does not handle pre-2008 M-prefixed ISMNs; see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Standard_Music_Number This does not validate multiple identifiers in one field, but it will gracefully ignore all non-number detritus, such as extraneous hyphens, spaces, and comments. It currently maintains hyphens in non-initial and non-final position, discarding consecutive ones beyond the first as well. It also adds the customary hyphen to valid ISSNs. Takes the first 8 valid digits and tries to read an ISSN, takes the first 10 valid digits and tries to read an ISBN 10 or a UPC, and takes the first 13 valid digits to try to read an ISBN 13 or an EAN. It also tries to parse the input as an SICI; if found, it will populate the SICI attribute with the proper SICI and the ISSN with the constituent ISSN. A later version will return the other metadata encoded by SICI as well. Returns an object with six attributes: "issn" "isbn10" "isbn13" "upc" "ean" "sici" Each will be set to a valid identifier if found, and otherwise be a boolean false. The UPC logic is for a 10-digit UPC-A; the newer EAN system is equivalent to the isbn13 algorithm. There could conceivably be a valid ISBN-13 with an ISBN-10 substring; this should probably be interpreted as the latter, but it is a client UI issue.
