1      Introduction

ebXML RegRep is a standard defining the service interfaces, protocols and information model for an integrated registry and repository. The repository stores digital content while the registry stores metadata that describes the content in the repository.

At some later time a more detailed overview of this specification may be provided in the ebXML RegRep 4.0 Primer.

1.1    Terminology

The keywords "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT", "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in this specification are to be interpreted as described in IETF [RFC 2119].

1.4    The Library Analogy (Informative)

To explain what is an ebXML RegRep we use the following familiar analogy. The ebXML Registry-Repository is to digital content, what your local library is to books and other published content. We make this analogy clearer with the comparisons made in the following table:

 

Your Local Library

ebXML RegRep

Manages books and all types of published material

Manages all types of digital content

Has book shelves containing books and other published material

Has a "repository" containing all types of digital content

Has a card catalog that describes the published material that is available in the book shelves

Has a "registry" that describes the digital content that is available in the repository

Multiple libraries can voluntarily participate in a cooperative network and offer a unified service

Multiple ebXML Registry-Repository's can voluntarily participate in a cooperative network and offer a unified service

Table 1: ebXML RegRep comparison with your local library

1.5    RepositoryItems and RegistryObjects

An ebXML Registry is capable of storing any type of electronic content such as XML documents, text documents, images, sound and video. Instances of such content are referred to as a RepositorytItems.  RepositorytItems are stored in a content repository provided by the ebXML Registry.

In addition to the RepositoryItems, an ebXML Registry is also capable of storing standardized metadata that MUST be used to further describe RepositoryItems. Instances of such metadata are referred to as a RegistryObjects (or one of its sub-types, as described later in this document). RegistryObjects are stored in the registry provided by the ebXML Registry.

To illustrate these concepts we use the library analogy as follows:

        An ebXML Registry is like your local library.

        The repository is like the bookshelves in the library.

        The repository items in the repository are like book on the bookshelves. The repository items can contain any type of electronic content just like the books in the bookshelves can contain any type of  information.

        The registry is like the card catalog. It is organized for finding things quickly.

        A RegistryObject is like a card in the card catalog. All RegistryObjects conform to a standard just like the cards in the card catalog conform to a standard.

        Every repository item MUST have a RegistryObject that describes it, just like every book must have a card in the card catalog.

To summarize, ebXML Registry stores any type of content as RepositoryItems in a repository and stores standardized metadata describing the content as RegistryObjects in a registry.

2      Conformance

This section defines the requirements for a server implementation claiming to conform to the ebXML RegRep core specifications which consist of [regrep-rim-v4.0] and [regrep-rs-v4.0].

This specification defines two different conformance profiles for a server implementation. Conformance profile RegistryLite requires the least functionality while conformance profile RegistryFull requires additional functionality.

The remainder of this chapter is organized in sections where each section represents a feature set within this specification. Each section has a conformance table where a row defines conformance requirement for a feature within the feature set. The first column of each row describes a feature while the second column titled “Profile” indicates the conformance profile that requires support for that feature. If a feature required for a RegistryLite profile then it is also required for RegistryFull profile.
