I
like "information registry" as well (sorry Farrukh). So it could be a data
registry, a metadata registry (but not in the same sense as 11179 is), or
information registry.

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.
No one else like "Information registry"? Oh well, I tried
:-)
Happy new year dear colleagues.

Trick question...Metadata is data. (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!

Subject: [regrep] Pre-Holiday Registry Riddle
(Requesting Quick Feedback)
Here's a pre-holiday registry riddle that I would value
feedback on:
Knowing that ebXML Registry can be thought of as a
service registry, and assuming (hypotetically) that you were
asked to categorize an ebXML Registry as either a "data
registry" or a "metadata registry", which of the 2 choices
("data" or "metadata") would you pick?
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!
