Update ISAN Metadata

Registrants can update anytime the metadata associated to their ISAN or Project ISAN. This is even required for Projects ISAN before activation and useful for active ISAN to add for example a new alternate title when the content is distributed in a new country.

Note: a registrant cannot update the metadata associated to an ISAN registered by another registrant. However, registrants can ask to their registration agency for updates in case of errors or missing information.

Warning: Metadata changes shall only serve to enrich or correct the information associated to the ISAN. It is not allowed to fully change the metadata of an active ISAN (or Project ISAN) so that it identifies another audiovisual work.
