Information technology. Metamodel framework for interoperability (MFI). Metamodel for ontology registration | Status: Superseded, Withdrawn

1 Scope ISO/IEC 19763 specifies a metamodel framework for interoperability. This part of ISO/IEC 19763 specifies the metamodel that provides a facility to register administrative and evolution information related to ontologies. The metamodel specified in this part of ISO/IEC 19763 is intended to promote interoperation among application systems, by providing administrative and evolution information related to ontologies, accompanied with standardized ontology repositories that register ontologies themselves in specific languages. This part of ISO/IEC 19763 does not specify the metamodels of ontologies expressed in specific languages and the mappings among them. They are specified in other specifications such as the Ontology Definition Metamodel from the Object Management Group (see bibliography item [1]). Figure 1 shows the scope of this part of ISO/IEC 19763. Figure 1 — Scope of MFI Ontology registration
