14、rd ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) and IEC (the International Electrotechnical Commission) form the specialized system for worldwide standardization. National bodies that are members of ISO or IEC participate in the development of International Standards through technical co
15、mmittees established by the respective organization to deal with particular fields of technical activity. ISO and IEC technical committees collaborate in fields of mutual interest. Other international organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO and IEC, also take part in th
16、e work. In the field of information technology, ISO and IEC have established a joint technical committee, ISO/IEC JTC 1. International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2. The main task of the joint technical committee is to prepare Internationa
17、l Standards. Draft International Standards adopted by the joint technical committee are circulated to national bodies for voting. Publication as an International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the national bodies casting a vote. Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the

21、eserved v ISO/IEC 19763-1 :2015(E) BS ISO/IEC 19763-1:2015 Introduction Due to the proliferation of internet-enabled communication aided by mobile devices, social network systems and cloud computing, both the efficient and effective sharing of information and the handling of business transactions ac
22、ross countries and cultures has become easier. In the private sector the handling of these business transactions using Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) has been common for a long time. Companies hold large quantities of structured, semi-structured and unstructured data the “Big Data” explosion. It
23、is in their interest to make effective use of this data to extract business intelligence and knowledge. In the public sector, governments in many countries and territories are working on the establishment of new schemes that enable interoperation and collaboration among different departments or agen
24、cies, materialising the semantic interoperability of data and surmounting border and/or language differences. At the same time, many governments and agencies are attempting to make their data available to their citizens over the internet, the “Open Data” initiatives. These “Open Data” initiatives co
25、uld be the driver for similar innovations in the private sector. One of the issues for users is to access the various sets of open data easily and integrate them for analysis so as to create new value through added information or knowledge. These trends have produced new needs for standards that ena
26、ble effective information sharing in both private and public sectors. One of the key enablers of this sharing of the information that is used by different communities through the interoperability of systems is a registry, or a network of inter-connected registries, that provides for the discovery an
27、d sharing of meta-information, such as metadata or models. The Metamodel Framework for Interoperability (MFI) provides the specifications for such registries. The MFI specifications can be considered as an extension of those for a Metadata Registry (MDR) as defined in ISO/IEC 11179-3 because MFI and
28、 MDR share the same registration mechanism and procedures. In 2010 a special study project was initiated to consider the harmonisation of MDR and MFI and a key recommendation of that study project was that the common facilities should be identified and used for both MDR and MFI. It is anticipated th
29、at MDR and MFI could be more closely related and integrated, leading to benefits for the users who need more effective sharing of information and models, or more sophisticated interoperation of systems. This new edition of Part 1 has been developed to provide a clear overview of MFI and to illustrat
30、e the overall architecture of the MFI family of standards to reflect the major changes described above. vi ISO/IEC 2015 All rights reserved ISO/IEC 19763-1:2015(E) BS ISO/IEC 19763-1:2015 INTERNATIONAL STANDARD ISO/IEC 19763-1:2015(E) Information technology Metamodel framework for interoperability (
31、MFI) Part 1: Framework 1 Scope 1.1 Inclusions This is a part of the ISO/IEC19763 (Metamodel framework for interoperability) (MFI) family of standards. As the first part of MFI, this part provides an overview of the whole of MFI. In particular, the purpose, the underlying concepts, the overall archit
32、ecture and the requirements for the development of other standards within the MFI family are described. MFI provides a set of normative metamodels to enable the registration of many different types of model. Each of these metamodels is expressed as a UML Class Diagram. MFI is evolving. Currently, in
33、 addition to this part, the MFI family comprises: A core model and facilities for the basic mapping of models (Part 10) A metamodel for ontology registration (Part 3) A metamodel for process model registration (Part 5) A metamodel for service model registration (Part 7) A metamodel for role and goal
34、 model registration (Part 8) A Technical Report describing on demand model selection based on RGPS (Role, Goal, Process and Service) (Part 9) A metamodel for information model registration (Part 12) A metamodel for form design registration (Part 13) A metamodel for a registry summary (Part 6) These
35、parts are described in more detail in Annex A. 1.2 Exclusions The MFI does not specify any physical structure of the registry where model information is to be recorded. MFI metamodels define standard views as models to be used in the registering of model instances in a model registry while actual in
36、stance documents could be stored in a model repository. ISO/IEC 2015 All rights reserved 1 BS ISO/IEC 19763-1:20152 Conformance This part of ISO/IEC 19763 specifies no conformance requirements.
