7. 9th Open Forum for Metadata Registry, Kobe, 2006 The ISO/IEC 11179 Metadata Registries standard consists of 6 parts:  Part 1 - Framework  Part 2 - Classification  Part 3 - Registry metamodel and basic attributes  Part 4 - Formulation of data definitions  Part 5 - Naming and identification principles  Part 6 - Registration  Part 1 explains the purpose of each part.  Part 3 specifies the metamodel that defines the registry  The other parts specify various aspects of the use of the registry

8. 9th Open Forum for Metadata Registry, Kobe, 2006 Each Data element in ISO/IEC 11179 Metadata Registries:  should be registered according to the Registration guidelines (11179-6)  will be uniquely identified within the register (11179-5)  should be named according to Naming and Identification Principles (11179-5)  should be defined by the Formulation of Data Definitions rules (11179-4)  may be classified in a Classification Scheme (11179-2)

9. 9th Open Forum for Metadata Registry, Kobe, 2006 The ISO/IEC 19763 Framework for Metamodel Interoperability standard consists of 4 parts:  Part 1 – Reference Model  Part 2 – Core Model  Part 3 – Metamodel for Ontology Registration  Part 4 – Metamodel for Model Mapping  Part 1 describes concepts and architecture to be applied in the development and registration of individual metamodel frameworks in other parts.  Part 2 specifies the core model to describe metamodel items  Part 3 specifies the metamodel that provides a facility to register administrative information about ontologies  Part 4 provides a metamodel for describing differences in format and type of objects and transformation rules to be exchanged or shared
