While the ISO 14817 process and roles will be followed where possible, the HA Metadata Registry is strictly non-compliant in some details (e.g. we do not mandate use of ASN.1). This means that some licence is needed when interpreting the meaning of ISO 14817 roles in the context of the HA Metadata Registry.
Process and Roles
Submitter
Anybody is welcome to make submissions of ITS data definitions to the registry.
Ideally stakeholders in particular sets of data definitions should make
submissions. How to submit [here]
Registrar
The registrar is responsible for facilitating the registration of items and
for making those items widely accessible to the community.
Mott MacDonald are the current registrar.
Executive Committee (ExCom)
The ExCom is responsible for overall policy and business
direction.
The Metadata Registry project management, including Highways Agency,
are acting as the ExCom, where necessary.
Steward
Stewards check quality of items and propose items for
"qualified" or "preferred" status.
In the past the registry operated with independent stewards.
At present the registrar is also performing the steward role.
Change Control Committee (CCC)
The CCC provides technical direction and harmonisation of
registry contents. The CCC is the body that authorises progression to "
qualified" and "preferred" status.
In the past the registry operated with an independent CCC, but at present
the registrar performs the CCC role, although "recommendations" of models
are agreed with the Highways Agency.
