ISO/IEC 19583-27:2025 PDF

Overview

ISO/IEC 19583-27:2025 defines a formal mapping between two metadata standards used in bioinformatics and metadata registries: the ISO/IEC 11179-34 metamodel for computable data registration and the IEEE 2791 JSON Schema for bioinformatics analyses generated by high‑throughput sequencing (HTS). The standard specifies bidirectional mapping mechanisms to (1) produce IEEE 2791 objects from instances of ISO/IEC 11179-34, and (2) register IEEE 2791 objects as computable data in a Metadata Registry (MDR) conforming to ISO/IEC 11179-34. It supports semantic interoperability, reproducibility, and consistent metadata exchange between research, clinical, and regulatory ecosystems.

Key topics and technical requirements

• Mapping mechanisms
  • S2M (Schema to Metamodel): maps IEEE 2791 JSON Schema elements into ISO/IEC 11179-34 computable‑data metamodel objects (e.g., spec_version, provenance_domain, io_domain).
  • M2S (Metamodel to Schema): maps ISO/IEC 11179-34 computable‑data entries into IEEE 2791 JSON Schema objects.
• Data transformation
  • Defines transformation rules and types: one‑to‑one, one‑to‑many, many‑to‑one, many‑to‑many (some mappings require human review).
  • Covers domain‑specific transformations (spec_version, provenance_domain.review, contributors, pipeline_steps, input/output subdomains, error_domain).
• MDR implementation and registration
  • Requirements for recording Computable_Data, Supporting_Document, Input_Output_Data, and error metadata within an MDR.
• Validation and examples
  • Includes mapping tables (e.g., Table 1) and informative Annexes A and B with examples of transforming between IEEE 2791 objects and ISO/IEC 11179-34 computable data.
• Normative references
  • Relies on ISO/IEC 11179-3, ISO/IEC 11179-33, ISO/IEC 11179-34, and IEEE 2791-2020.

Practical applications and who should use it

• Data submitters who must provide HTS bioinformatics metadata in IEEE 2791 format to regulators, repositories, or partners.
• MDR administrators and data stewards implementing ISO/IEC 11179-34 to register computable data and enable downstream generation of IEEE 2791 objects.
• Bioinformatics platform developers and integrators building exporters/importers between JSON IEEE 2791 artifacts and metadata registries.
• Regulatory agencies, pharmaceutical companies, and research consortia seeking reproducible, machine‑readable HTS workflow metadata for review, audit, or data sharing.
• Software engineers and ETL specialists responsible for data transformation, validation, and mapping logic between standards.
