In my epxerience as I have stated earlier I see more usage of it at run time than at design time. The classic / original vision of ebXML Registry was was design time focused but original visions are often not as 20/20 as hindsight is. Lets consider a real examples. IHE XDS uses ebXML Registry for patient record management. The client apps could be used by doctors to look at or update the patient record. Is that a design time use or a run time use? It is clearly run-time use. Another technique I use is that when in doubt ask the same question withe the wor "database" substituted for "ebXML Registry". Most of the the time you will get the right answer. So - are databases only good for design time? Clearly not? Q.E.D :-) I hope we as a TC can collectively work to dispell this popular misconception.
