Why 3297 is special

A journal that changes its title must take a new ISSN, and a print and online edition of the same journal have different ones, which is why citation matching is harder than it looks.

In historical numeral systems

Egyptian

3 lotuses, 2 coils of rope, 9 hobbles, 7 strokes

3 × 1,000 + 2 × 100 + 9 × 10 + 7 × 1 = 3,297. The signs are simply repeated and added; where they sit on the line is a matter of layout, not value.

Babylonian

5 corner wedges + 4 vertical wedges (sixties place), 5 corner wedges + 7 vertical wedges (units place)

54 × 60 + 57 = 3297. Places are separated by a space on the tablet, with the higher place written first.

Systems that simply cannot reach this value are left out. Where a script needs a font most readers do not have, the reading is given instead of the glyphs — see number systems for each system in full.

Connection
An ISBN identifies a book that is finished and an ISSN a publication that keeps arriving, which is why the two systems cannot be merged.
