Use authoritative source for ISBNs

[cmungall]

bioregistry uses isbnsearch. From its own website, it's not affiliated with ISBN in any way. It is a scraper.

It gets things wrong based on incorrect information from random websites. For example, this entry is clearly messed up, mixing a book on ventilation with a canonical molbio textbook:
0198506732

I believe worldcat is a good authoritative source
https://www.worldcat.org/isbn/0198506732

And bioregistry should use this as primary. However you should check with actual library science experts

Thanks @cmungall, this resolver was added a few months ago (#1495) since at the time I found that it could resolve a broader range of ISBNs that are in use. Checking worldcat.org, it looks like that is also able to resolve all the relevant ISBN formats so we can switch over to that as the default provider.

https://bioregistry.io/isbn:0198506732 still resolves to a book about ventilators - maybe the change hasn't propagated yet?

Yes, the new release just wasn't deployed yet but now it is so Worldcat is the default resolver.
