Help - What is a Metadata Registry?

A Metadata Registry (MDR) is a database of metadata that supports the functionality of registration. ... An MDR manages the semantics of data. Understanding data is fundamental to its design, harmonization, standardization, use, re-use, and interchange. The underlying model for an MDR is designed to capture all the basic components of the semantics of data, independent of any application or subject matter area.
