24、nternational 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 organization to deal with particula

25、r 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 technology, ISO and IEC have establish

26、ed 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 technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards adopted by the technical committees are

27、circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote. Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent rights. ISO and IEC shall not be

ISO/IEC 11179-3 was prepared by Joint Technical Committee ISO/IEC JTC 1, Information technology, Subcommittee SC 32, Data management and interchange. This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition (ISO/IEC 11179-3:1994), whi

ISO/IEC 11179 (first edition) consists of the following parts, under the general title Information technology Specification and standardization of data elements: Part 1: Framework for the specification and standardization of data elements Part 2: Classification for d

32、 2003 All rights reserved viiIntroduction Data processing and electronic data interchange rely heavily on accurate, reliable, controllable and verifiable data recorded in databases. A prerequisite for correct and proper use and interpretation of data is that both users and owners of data have a comm

33、on understanding of the meaning and representation of the data. To facilitate this common understanding, a number of characteristics, or attributes, of the data have to be defined. These characteristics of data are known as “metadata”, that is, “data that describes data”. This part of ISO/IEC 11179

34、provides for the attributes of data elements and associated metadata to be specified and registered as metadata items in a Metadata Registry. The structure of a Metadata Registry is specified in the form of a conceptual data model. The Metadata Registry is used to keep information about data element

35、s and associated concepts, such as “data element concepts”, “conceptual domains” and “value domains”. Generically, these are all referred to as “metadata items”. Such metadata are necessary to clearly describe, record, analyse, classify and administer data. When considering data and metadata, it is

36、important to distinguish between types of data/metadata, and instances of these types. Clause 4 of this part of ISO/IEC 11179 specifies the types of metadata objects that form the structure of a Metadata Registry. A Metadata Registry will be populated with instances of these metadata objects (metada

37、ta items), which in turn define types of data, e.g. in an application database. In other words, instances of metadata specify types of application level data. In turn, the application database will be populated by the real world data as instances of those defined data types. NOTE ISO/IEC 10027:1990

38、IRDS Framework explains the concepts of different levels of modelling. This part of ISO/IEC 11179 also describes the basic attributes of metadata items for purposes where a complete Metadata Registry is not appropriate. This part of ISO/IEC 11179 is of interest to information developers, information

39、 managers, data administrators, standards developers and others who are responsible for making data understandable and shareable. ISO/IEC 11179 has broad applicability across subject area domains and information technologies. Copyright American National Standards Institute Provided by IHS under lice

41、79-3:2003(E) ISO/IEC 2003 All rights reserved 1Information technology Metadata registries (MDR) Part 3: Registry metamodel and basic attributes 1 Scope The primary purpose of ISO/IEC 11179-3 is to specify the structure of a Metadata Registry (see 1.1). ISO/IEC 11179-3 also specifies basic attributes

42、 which are required to describe metadata items, and which may be used in situations where a complete metadata registry is not appropriate (e.g. in the specification of other International Standards) (see 1.2). 1.3 identifies aspects not currently addressed. 1.4 provides examples of activities where

43、ISO/IEC 11179-3 may be applied. 1.1 Scope Structure of a Metadata Registry A comprehensive Metadata Registry management function requires a set of rules and procedures. These rules and procedures are set out in the following Clauses and Annexes and are complemented elsewhere in this document as foll

44、ows: a) the definitions of metadata objects are in Clause 3.3 of this part of ISO/IEC 11179; b) the structure of the registry in the form of a conceptual data model is in Clause 4 of this part of ISO/IEC 11179; Aspects of the registry are expanded on in other parts of ISO/IEC 11179, as follows: a) t

45、he overall framework for this family of International Standards is specified in ISO/IEC 11179-1; b) rules and guidelines for classifying metadata are in ISO/IEC 11179-2; c) rules and guidelines for the formulation of definitions are in ISO/IEC 11179-4; d) naming and identifying principles for metada

46、ta are in ISO/IEC 11179-5; e) rules and guidelines for registering metadata are in ISO/IEC 11179-6. While the model diagrams are presented in UML notation, this part of ISO/IEC 11179 does not assume nor endorse any specific system environment, database management system, database design paradigm, sy

47、stem development methodology, data definition language, command language, system interface, user interface, computing platform, or any technology required for implementation. This part of ISO/IEC 11179 does not directly apply to the actual use of data in communications and information processing sys
