All Identification Codes and Numbering Systems

Standard code formats used to identify things in a way that software can validate. The International Bank Account Number names a bank account across national borders, the International Mobile Equipment Identity names a mobile phone, and the International Standard Serial Number names a periodical such as a magazine. Each follows a fixed length and layout, often with a check digit, so that mistyped codes can be caught by a program.
