The ISO/IEC 19763 family of standards defines normative metamodels for the registration of models (including information models and process models), ontologies, services and roles & goals. Currently a lot of metadata registries or model registries were constructed and utilized in many different business domains, such as e-business, healthcare, automobile, electronics devices and civil construction. One of the key issues for the cross domain data or services integration must be enabling the easy discovery of metadata that are stored in the different registries that were scattered over different domains. Therefore, it is necessary to provide specific metadata that describes the registry itself in order to enable interoperation among different registries that were built following different standards. ISO/IEC 19763:2015 family of standards specifies an information artefact called the Registry Summary. The Registry Summary consists of information that describes administrative aspects, the summary of contents and the technical access method of the registry. A collection of multiple Registry Summary information is called a "Registry of Registries" or RoR, however, this standard does not mandate a particular implementation. Also, any specific protocol between Registry Summaries and RoR, such as creation of RoR and synchronization of RoR, would not be specified in this standard. Those are to be specified by other standards. The Registry Summary and RoR concept should be applied to all Metamodel Framework for Interoperability (MFI) registries, but its use may be applied to any kind of registries.
Abstract
Overview
ISO/IEC 19763-6:2015 - Registry Summary is part of the ISO/IEC 19763 Metamodel Framework for Interoperability (MFI). It defines a metamodel for summarizing and describing metadata registries so that heterogeneous registries can be discovered and interoperate. The Registry Summary captures administrative information, a summary of registry contents, and technical access methods. A collection of Registry Summaries is termed a Registry of Registries (RoR), although this part does not mandate RoR implementation or synchronization protocols.

Key Topics
- Purpose and scope
- Enable discovery and interoperation among registries across domains (e-business, healthcare, government, construction, automotive, electronics).
- Apply primarily to MFI registries but usable for any registry type.
- Metamodel structure
- Defines metaclasses used in Registry Summary (e.g., Classification, Contact, Contents, Document, Interface, Organization, Other_Standard_Model, Registry, Registry_Component, Related_Registry, Registry_Summary_Language).
- Shows associations with the MFI Core Model (ISO/IEC 19763-10).
- Administrative and technical metadata
- Administrative aspects (ownership, contacts, SLAs), summary of contents (what types of models or metadata are held), and technical access (URLs, interfaces, formats).
- Conformance
- Two degrees: strictly conforming (no extensions) and conforming (allows consistent extensions).
- Implementations must include an Implementation Conformance Statement (ICS).
- Informative guidance
- Annexes give examples: types of registry systems (independent, replicated, federated), adaptation of other standards (ISO/IEC 11179, UN/CEFACT), XML Schema example, and meta-tag indicators.
Applications
- Facilitates cross-domain metadata discovery and integration for enterprise data exchange, service-oriented architectures, and semantic interoperability projects.
- Useful for architects building a Registry of Registries (RoR) or publishing registry metadata to enable automated lookup by clients, portals, or integration middleware.
- Target users: registry designers, data architects, standards bodies, enterprise integration teams, metadata management vendors, and domain experts in healthcare, e-business, government, and engineering sectors.
- Supports implementation patterns for federated registries, replication strategies, and interface descriptions (URLs, WSDL, XML).
Related Standards
- ISO/IEC 19763-1 (MFI Framework)
- ISO/IEC 19763-10 (Core model and basic mapping)
- ISO/IEC 11179-3 and ISO/IEC 11179-6 (Metadata registries / registry metamodel and registration)
ISO/IEC 19763-6:2015 provides the standardized metadata vocabulary and structure needed to make diverse registries discoverable and interoperable while allowing implementers flexibility in deployment.
