Specifies a metamodel framework for interoperability. This part of ISO/IEC 19763 specifies the metamodel that provides a facility to register administrative and evolution information related to ontologies.
The metamodel specified is intended to promote interoperation among application systems, by providing administrative and evolution information related to ontologies, accompanied with standardized ontology repositories that register ontologies themselves in specific languages. It does not specify the metamodels of ontologies expressed in specific languages and the mappings among them. They are specified in other specifications such as the Ontology Definition Metamodel from the Object Management Group.
