Similarities • Address registration • Address atomic item attributes—same, different • Address framework/metamodel • Address semantics • If there are these similarities between these two, what others are out there?
Differences • ISO/IEC 11179 is a general standard; not subject-specific • ISO 19100 (-115, -135, -139) ARE subject-specific, but not done as extensions to 11179, but as stand-alone standards. • In some cases there isn’t a corresponding base standard for 19100 to extend • Supports “profiles” • Comprehensive • Integrated model vs component model
Many similarities, some differences • BUT one is not an extension of the other • No logical relationship, so overlap? • What to do: • Harmonize • Assimilate • Crosswalk, at the very least • DON’T want to give conflicting standards advice
Other relevant standards? • ebXML registry • UDDI registry • Not doing these today although they may be included in the final product;
Proposal • Purpose: to harmonize and align between existing standards for registration and administration of metadata • Advantages: • Lessen the possibility of cross-purposes in interpretation • Provide clarity of purpose to users of both standards • Provide a convenient crosswalk among registration standards for reference
Solutions • Houston, do we have a problem? • Lots of questions about the relative need for several of these. • Reduce risk • Improve communication • Improve standards alignment and compatibility
Other potentials • Cross-pollination of ideas • Improve communication among standards organizations • Heighten awareness of other standards efforts • Less focus on subject-matter specific and more focus on generalizable principles
Summary and conclusions • Register of standards and subject matter • Look for previous existing standards • Point to, don’t replicate work—extend if possible • Identify points for standards collaboration and harmonization • E.g SC32 and TC211
