>     Summary:  The ebXML Registry provides a stable store where submitted 
> information is made persistent. Such information is used to facilitate 
> business to business relationships and transactions. Submitted content 
> includes but is not limited to XML schema and documents, process 
> descriptions, ebXML Core Components, context descriptions, UML models, 
> information about organizations, and software components. Metadata, used 
> to describe the stored content, is defined in the Registry Information 
> Model. The interface to the Registry is defined in the Registry Services 
> specification.  Versions 2.0 of RIM and RS were approved as OASIS 
> Standards in May of 2002.  (See 
> http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/tc-announce/200205/msg00004.html.)
