Replied to a post on twitter.com :
@Cambridgeport90 Probably not worthwhile. @OpenLibrary may shed more light on their ID, but it's likely proprietary. ISBN is an ISO standard and broadly supported everywhere. Related details see: https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Property:P648 http://www.dlib.org/dlib/january04/vitiello/01vitiello.html https://journal.code4lib.org/articles/8715
@Cambridgeport90 Of course this doesn't mean that using the @OpenLibrary API for getting book data is a bad idea! Definitely do that to get/give data and support them versus closed systems like Goodreads, Amazon, et al.
