Information technology. Metadata registries (MDR). Metamodel for concept system registration | Status: Current

1 Scope This document provides a specification for an extension to a metadata registry (MDR), as specified in ISO/IEC 11179‑3:2023, in which metadata that describes concept systems can be registered. The specification in this document, together with the relevant clauses of the specification in ISO/IEC 11179‑3, provides the ability to record the following metadata:

• — concept systems and associated concepts;
• — relations among concepts in a concept system;
• — assertions about concepts in a concept system.

The metamodel in this document is intended to support the full description of a concept system, including ontologies. Where there is a requirement to register an ontology where the details are defined elsewhere, consider using ISO/IEC 19763‑3[8] instead.
