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 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.

Current Implementations

  • Evolve SBR - Australian Government Standard Business Reporting Data Dictionary
  • Prosper Canada Financial Literacy Indicator Registry - Registry of peer-reviewed indicators tracking financial literacy outcomes for Prosper Canada

    • 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. Current additional metadata types provided by the community include:

  • Health indicator to record population health indicators such as those collected by the President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief and the World Health Organization
  • Data set specifications to record columnar datasets
  • Download formats for Data Documentation Initiative and DHIS
