Aristotle Metadata Registry

The Aristotle Metadata Registry (or Aristotle-MDR) is an open-source Metadata Registry framework based on the ISO/IEC 11179 standard for Metadata Registries. It is influenced by the AIHW Meteor Metadata Registry[3] and the Canadian Institute of Health Information Indicator Bank. Aristotle-MDR is designed to describe data holdings databases and associated structural metadata. The Aristotle Metadata Registry was publicly launched at the 2015 IASSIST Conference in Toronto.[3] In 2016, the founders of the Aristotle Metadata Registry were hired by Data61 (a division of CSIRO) to continue development of the platform.

In June 2018, the CSIRO and the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare entered an agreement to replace the current METeOR metadata registry with a system based on the open-source Aristotle Metadata Registry [4] [5]

Aristotle Cloud Services Australia

Commercial support for the Aristotle Metadata Registry is provided by Aristotle Cloud Services Australia (ACSA), a Canberra-based Australian limited liability company. ACSA was founded by the core members of the Data61 Aristotle Metadata team in November 2017 to provide commercial support to government clients and provides a number security and enterprise features within the Aristotle Cloud product line. Aristotle Cloud Services Australia is a member of both the Data Documentation Initiative and member of the Canberra start-up hub Entry29. Aristotle Cloud Services Australia was one of the major sponsors of the 2019 IASSIST conference.

Current implementations

Extension API

Aristotle-MDR implements the object-oriented nature of ISO/IEC 11179 that has allowed the community to build extensions to the original metadata scope of ISO/IEC 11179.[6] Current additional metadata types provided by the community include:[7]

Particular sectors, such as document management, scientific data and statistical data, require metadata attributes not addressed in this standard. This standard provides Slots (see 7.2.2.4) as a mechanism to extend metadata items with custom attributes. Classes, relationships, and attributes may be added as extensions to existing packages in this conceptual data model, or complete new packages may be added.
