Scope of standard

This part of ISO/IEC 11179 restates and elaborates on the
procedures and techniques of ISO/IEC 11179-3:2003 for registering
classification schemes and classifying administered items in an
MDR. All types of administered items can be classified, including
object classes, properties, representations, value domains, and
data element concepts, as well as data elements themselves.

This part of ISO/IEC 11179 develops a set of principles,
methods, and procedures for specifying what is needed (at a
minimum) to document the association between the various types of
administered items and one or more classification schemes. This
includes the names, definitions, and other aspects of the
classification scheme and its contents. These can be captured
through use of a set of attributes. Particular attributes are
specified in this part of ISO/IEC 11179, along with a structure for
the contents of these attributes. Users may extend the set of
attributes as necessary. Additional information may accompany a
taxonomy or ontology; for example, to provide a suggested set of
qualifiers that could be applied to the object class, property, or
representation taxa to more fully qualify the classification of the
particular administered item. This part of ISO/IEC 11179 summarizes
the basic attributes and model specified in ISO/IEC
11179-3:2003.

An example in this part of ISO/IEC 11179 shows how selected
components of data elements can be associated with a classification
scheme through the attributes specified in this part of ISO/IEC
11179. Use of one or more classification schemes is intended to
provide a sound conceptual basis for the development of metadata
having enhanced semantic purity and design integrity.

This part of ISO/IEC 11179 does not establish a particular
classification scheme as preeminent. Sanction of a particular
taxonomic approach and/or a particular epistemology is also beyond
the scope of this part of ISO/IEC 11179. These are addressed by
other standards committees and/or tend to be tailored to a
particular domain of discourse. The power of the classification
scheme and the utility of the content are appropriate areas for
competition. Other standards committees are developing or have
developed normative languages for use in classification and/or
particular techniques and structures that can be accommodated by
this International Standard. For example, the National Information
Standards Organization (NISO) has developed a standard for
development of a thesaurus. It is appropriate for each
classification structure to be documented as to how it was
developed and how it can be extended and maintained. Such
attributes could be added, by the principle of extensibility, to
the attributes specified in this part of ISO/IEC 11179. They are
not, however, included here.

Each Registration Authority, as described and specified in
ISO/IEC 11179-6, may classify administered items according to the
classification schemes, structures, and content that it deems
appropriate. In documenting the classification aspects of
administered items, the Registration Authority may use the
principles, methods, procedures, and attributes specified in this
part of ISO/IEC 11179.
