1 Presentation Title: Introduction to MDR - ISO/IEC Metadata Registries, Edition 3 9 th Open Forum on Metadata Registries Harmonization of Terminology, Ontology and Metadata 20th 22nd March, 2006, Kobe Japan. Day: 1 Slot No. Name: Larry Fitzwater 3 Organization: US Environmental Protection Agency 3 3

2 Abstract This presentation describes efforts underway to increase the capabilities of metadata registries which will result in a new Edition (E3) of ISO/IEC family of standards. Major advancements include semantics management capabilities.

3 What is Metadata? Metadata is data about data It s just plain, ordinary, everyday, garden variety data It is found in documents, messages, images, sound streams, data sets, Web sites and videos It provides information about the data or resource

4 Why is Metadata Important? Promotes clearer understanding Helps users find information Promotes more efficient use/reuse of information Promotes better data management

5 What is the Role of a Data Registry? Keeps facts necessary to clearly describe, inventory, analyze, and classify data Supports data standards development process and distribution Provides a source of well-formed data elements and value domains Promotes the reuse of data in Agency systems and beyond Enables data sharing, data integration, and data comparability Serves as the central source of metadata information about Agency data
