Description (English):

The ISO/IEC 19763 multipart International Standard specifies a metamodel framework for interoperability. ISO/IEC 19763-12:2015 specifies a metamodel for registering information models. This metamodel was developed taking into account two distinct types of information models such as ? those that are used to document the information requirements of a particular area of interest, and ? those that represent the structure of a database which are often expressed using a Database Definition Language (DDL).

Abstract

Overview

ISO/IEC 19763-12:2015 - part of the Metamodel Framework for Interoperability (MFI) - defines a metamodel for information model registration. It standardizes how information models (both logical models that document business information requirements and physical database structures expressed via DDL/Core SQL) can be registered, described and managed to support data interoperability between systems.

Key topics and technical requirements

Purpose: Provide a metamodel to register information models so they can be discovered, compared, and mapped for interoperability.
Model types covered:
- Logical information models (business information requirements) using common notations.
- Database structures limited to those conforming to Core SQL (ISO/IEC 9075-2 and -11).
- Fact-based techniques (e.g., ORM, NIAM) are explicitly out of scope.
Supported notations (examples given): Express‑G, IDEF1X, UML Class Diagrams, Chen ER, Barker/Ellis ER, Information Engineering.
Metamodel structure: Clause 5 defines metaclasses used for registration (e.g., Attribute, Entity_Type, Relationship, Domain, Unique_Identifier, Information_Model, Information_Modelling_Language, Diagram, Valid_Value).
Conformance: Defines two degrees - strictly conforming (no extensions) and conforming (extensions allowed) - and requires an Implementation Conformance Statement (ICS).
Interoperability links: Relationship with MFI Core and mapping capabilities (ISO/IEC 19763-10) for registering model mappings is described.
Normative references: Integrates with ISO/IEC 9075 (SQL), ISO/IEC 11179 (MDR), and other parts of ISO/IEC 19763.

Practical applications and users
