(c) Certification by the TC that all schema and XML instances are well-formed

(d) A clear English-language summary of the specification: 
This is the OASIS ebXML RegRep Version 4.0 specification. It is a multi-part 

specification that may be used to implement interoperable registries and 
repositories. The parts of this specification are as follows: 

Part 0: Overview Document provides a global overview and description of the all 

the other parts 
Part 1: Registry Information Model specifies the types of metadata and content 
that can be stored in an ebXML RegRep 
Part 2: Services and Protocols specifies the services and protocols for ebXML RegRep 

Part 3: XML Schema specifies the XML Schema for ebXML RegRep 
Part 4: WSDL specifies the WSDL interface descriptions for ebXML RegRep 
Part 5: XML Definitions specifies the canonical XML data for ebXML 
RegRep as well as example XML documents used in the specifications 

(e) Relationship of this specification to similar work: 
OASIS ebXML RegRep 4 specifications are newer versions of the following 
specifications that have previously been approved by ISO/TC 154: 

       * ISO/TS 15000-3:2004 -- Electronic business eXtensible Markup Language 

(ebXML) -- Part 3: Registry information model specification (ebRIM) 
       * ISO/TS 15000-4:2004 -- Electronic business eXtensible Markup Language 
(ebXML) -- Part 4: Registry services specification (ebRS) 

OASIS ebXML RegRep 4 specifications are complimentary to the following ISO 
specifications: 

       * ISO/IEC 11179, Information Technology -- Metadata registries (MDR) 
       * ISO/IEC 19763, Information Technology -- Metamodel Framework for 

Interoperability (MFI) 

ISO/IEC 11179, Information Technology -- Metadata registries (MDR) defines an 
abstract metadata registry standard. 
ISO/IEC 19763, Information Technology -- Metamodel Framework for 

Interoperability (MFI) defines additional abstract models for registration of 
services, processes, roles, goals etc. OASIS ebXML RegRep 4 provides a concrete 
registry and repository standard capable of registering all types of artifacts. 

ebXML RegRep TC has collaborated with the respective working groups for ISO/IEC 
11179 and ISO/IEC 19763 during the development of our respective specifications. 
Extension profiles of OASIS ebXML RegRep 4 may be defined in future to provide a 

concrete binding for ISO/IEC 11179 and ISO/IEC 19763.
