English note The primary intention of such a service is to allow portals, brokers and aggregators to automatically determine information about appropriate search terms and the structure of metadata records that will be returned to them. Metadata registries, however, also provide a useful human-oriented service, allowing people to see what metadata schemas are in use by which services - providing a basis for metadata schema sharing and re-use.
