Description / Abstract:
This part of ISO/IEC 11179 specifies requirements and
recommendations for constructing definitions for data and metadata.
Only semantic aspects of definitions are addressed; specifications
for formatting the definitions are deemed unnecessary for the
purposes of ISO/IEC 11179. While especially applicable to the
content of metadata registries as specified in ISO/IEC 11179-3,
this part of ISO/IEC 11179 is useful broadly for developing
definitions for data and metadata.
These definitional requirements and recommendations pertain to
formulating definitions for data elements and other types of data
constructs such as entity types, entities, relationships,
attributes, object types (or classes), objects, composites, code
entries, metadata items, and the data referred to by XML tags.
