Regina,

with "secondary ISSN" I mean the ISSN that must be assigned to 
additional editions of the same serial, as specified at 
http://www.issn.org/2-22638-ISSN-and-electronic-publications.php

"The print version of my publication is already assigned. Should I 
request a distinct ISSN for the online version ?
Yes, each separate edition (print, online, CD-ROM…) on a different 
medium should have its own ISSN, the title being identical or not. "

Publishers create serial identifiers for "a separate edition on a 
different medium", so I think it could be useful to define a Bibframe 
property for the publisher's identifiers for serials.

Thanks in advance for a Bibframe solution!

Best regards,

Jörg

Do you mean that you would want to apply the specific ISSN assigned to each version (print, online) to the particular instance to which it pertained, in addition to the linking ISSN that is appropriate to the work/expression?
