If you're familiar with the ISO 11179 standard ("Information technology
-- Specification and standardization of data elements"), it defines many
of the things you mention above in terms of roles such as "Registration
Authority" (RA), "Submitting Organization" (SO), and "Responsible
Organization" (RO). This standard has been around for quite some time
(at least 12 years), and is still being referred to today in other
standards such as ebXML and UBL.
