ISO/IEC 19763 specifies a metamodel framework for interoperability. This part of ISO/IEC 19763 specifies the metamodel that provides a facility to register administrative information related to ontologies. The metamodel specified in this part of ISO/IEC 19763 is intended to promote interoperation among application systems. It does not specify the metamodels of ontologies described 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 (see bibliography item [1]).
