Service Registries and Data Catalogs

Workflow for This Page

1. List all of the catalog/registries we will include as part of the test.
2. List the service interfaces they provide.
3. Are the registries domain specific?
4. List a short description of each for inclusion in the final report. What is the registry? Who sponsors it? Any domain specific issues?
