Increasingly I like linked data, and consequently, here is clarification and a question. ORCID does support RDF, but only barely. It can output FOAF-like data, but not bibliographic. Moreover, it is experimental, at best:

  curl -L -H 'accept: application/rdf+xml' http://orcid.org/0000-0002-9952-7800

In what ways does ISNI support linked data?
