23、 for Standardization) and IEC (the International Electrotechnical Commission) form the specialized system for worldwide standardization. National bodies that are members of ISO or IEC participate in the development of International Standards through technical committees established by the respective
24、 organization to deal with particular fields of technical activity. ISO and IEC technical committees collaborate in fields of mutual interest. Other international organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO and IEC, also take part in the work. In the field of information te
25、chnology, ISO and IEC have established a joint technical committee, ISO/IEC JTC 1. International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2. The main task of the joint technical committee is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Stand
26、ards adopted by the joint technical committee are circulated to national bodies for voting. Publication as an International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the national bodies casting a vote. Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the s

To promote interoperation among application systems, unambiguous and formal specifications of the syste
31、ms, especially of their inputs and outputs, are indispensable. Ontologies have a key role for that. Several efforts to establish standards associated with ontologies have been made. But, most of them specify languages or are based on some particular language. To promote ontology-based interoperation
32、, in addition to them, a generic framework for registering administrative and evolution information related to ontologies, independent of languages, is necessary. This part of ISO/IEC 19763 intends to provide a generic framework for registering administrative and evolution information related to ont
33、ologies.

34、ty. 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 administrati
35、ve 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. The
36、y are specified in other specifications such as the Ontology Definition Metamodel from the Object Management Group (see bibliography item 1).
