About
The GEOSS registry system consists of two parts: the 'GEOSS Component and Service Registry' and the 'GEOSS Standards and Interoperability Registry'.
The GEOSS Component and Service Registry includes mechanisms to register components and have them approved by the GEO Secretariat, to register services and associate them with GEOSS-recognized standards -- and special arrangements for implementations using non-recognized approaches. A taxonomy of standards types is also proposed to assist in the discovery and classification of GEOSS service implementations.
The GEOSS Standards and Interoperability Registry is a repository for information about standards and other interoperability arrangements that have relevance to the implementation and operation of GEOSS. In the Standards and Interoperability Registers you will find those standards that have been formally adopted for GEOSS, standards that are currently in use by GEOSS components, although not yet formally sanctioned, and standards that are potential candidates for use in GEOSS.
This picture depicts how these two registries interact with each other. The region in purple identifies the Component and Service Registry, and the Standards and Interoperability Registry is in gray.
