The document discusses different types of registries including metadata registries, terminology registries, and service registries. It describes their purposes, functions, examples, and how they can be integrated. Registries are used to store and manage metadata, concepts, terms, vocabularies, and descriptions of available services. They provide functions like registration, publication, search, and machine-to-machine services. The document examines similarities and differences between registry types and open questions about how best to organize registry domains and capabilities.
