Interoperability among Types of Registries

[Eliot Christian <echristi@usgs.gov>]

In the work on registries, I found Bruce Bargmeyer's presentations
to be especially illuminating. The attached short Powerpoint gives
a nice overview of seven types of Registries that are all relevant
to our work in E-Government:

- ISO 11179 Metadata Registries
- Database Catalogs/Data Dictionaries/ Repositories
- Universal Description, Discovery, and Integration
   (UDDI) Registries
- CASE (Computer-Aided Software Engineering) Tool
   Encyclopedias/Repositories
- Ontological Registries
- Software Component Registries
- OASIS/ebXML XML Registries
