No one else like "Information registry"? Oh well, I tried :-)Happy New Year, Thanks Miko and all others who replied. The con"sense"us that I see (sense) so far is that given the choice of a "data registry" or a "metadata" registry (with the caveats expressed in my original e-mail below), an ebXML Registry may be considered either a data registry *or* a metadata registry, depending on one's perspective regarding the contents. That is, one person's metadata may be another person's data. Perhaps it is best to simply call it an "ebXML" registry, and let the specs and implementations speak for themselves. Thinking also of 11179: However, I believe that there is no ambiguity involved with calling 11179 a *metadata* registry (vs. data) standard. That one is cut and dried. Please let me know if anyone disagrees with any of this. Happy new year dear colleagues.

(sorry for the non-answer) I know, people want to know if it's one or the other--if I were forced to choose I would say data, since it's a repository as well as a registry. Since metadata is data, you can say it holds data (and also the data that happens to be about data). Happy New Year!

The reason I ask is that I hear both choices discussed in various forums, and I know that one person's data registry may be another person's metadata registry (and vice-versa). Thanks - and Happy Holidays!
