Types of Registries:ISO 11179 Metadata Registries
Registers Data Elements, components of data elements and groups of data elements (e.g., country codes for customer place of residence)
Includes data element concepts, data elements (including representation), value domains, and (multiple) taxonomies
Emphasis on semantic information such as definitions of data elements and value meanings, and stewardship responsibilities
Common Content

Types of Registries:Database Catalogs/Data Dictionaries/
Repositories
Registers schema, integrity & operational information Includes all elements of database schemas: data
elements, relations, integrity constraints Emphasis on information required to make database
systems work for queries, etc., not semantic management

Types of Registries:Case Tool (Encyclopedias/Repositories)
Registers data models and application program logic
Includes information needed to create a database and potentially the program code for a system, including database schemas
Emphasis not on semantic management

Types of Registries: Ontological Registries
Registers Concept Structures Includes relations among concepts
(subsumption, inheritance,…) and axioms for inference among concepts, e.g., temporal/spatial reasoning, etc.
Emphasis is on semantics

Types of Registries:Software Component Registries
Registers reusable software components built on specific vendor platforms such as EJB, COM, CORBA IDL etc.
Includes basic common elementary objects and object patterns
Emphasis on reusability of software component to build flexible and standardized business systems.
