4. 9th Open Forum for Metadata Registry, Kobe, 2006 4 Registry Federation A registry federation is a group of registries that have voluntarily agreed to form a loosely coupled union. Registry federations appear as a single logical registry to registry clients.

11. 9th Open Forum for Metadata Registry, Kobe, 2006 11  FH (Federation Home) Management Problem Any registry can become a FH. One registry may compete against other registry in the same industry or in a country for a FH, so confusion will happen in the middle of each registry trying to become a FH. Solution FH certification authority in each country must manages a certified FHs. Any registry which wants to be an FH should refer an FH list. Federation Meta Data

12. 9th Open Forum for Metadata Registry, Kobe, 2006 12 Registry Client Registry Server-Home V3.0 Registry Server-Remote A1 V2.1 Registry Server-Remote A2 V2.5 Registry Server-Remote B1 V3.0 It is difficult to have Federation if registries have various version of ebRIM and ebRS others (ex)UDDI different version of Registry: failure in query required translation process of ebRIM, ebRS or Backward Compatibility of ebRIM Federated Query  Problem: non-interoperable registries

13. 9th Open Forum for Metadata Registry, Kobe, 2006 13 Determine: local query to local data + replica or remote query Check whether target registries are alive Federated query to registries implemented in various version  Consideration General user Replica and Event Notification Mgmt Remote Query Local Query + Remote Query Result of Remote Query Result of Local Query Federation Mgmt General user Federated Query

14. 9th Open Forum for Metadata Registry, Kobe, 2006 14  Problem: Performance of Federated Query Search time increases rapidly as the number of Federation member increases, because of limitation of Synchronous method Registry Client Registry Server-Home Registry Server-Remote Registry Server-Remote Registry Server-Remote => Replication of all registry data => Asynchronous Federation Agent Async Federation Agent Federated Query

15. 9th Open Forum for Metadata Registry, Kobe, 2006 15  Problem: Federated query about local replica If a client submits a federated query to a federation that has many registries with the same local replica, then a client may receive same results redundantly because of same local replica of each registry CO 1 RegRep 3 RegRep 2 Federation RegRep 1 O1O1 1.

16. 9th Open Forum for Metadata Registry, Kobe, 2006 16 The registry that receives a query must distinguish a federated query from a local query. federated query : the registry must retrieve only its own local data without local replica. local query : the registry can retrieve both local data and local replica.

No Response A FH is waiting for the response of downed registry Federation 2. Response 3. Low performance When a FH submits a federated query to a downed registry, a FH may wait for a result of a downed registry until time-out. This problem leads to a low performance. Federated Query
