Background Information
This registry is part of a pilot project implemented by Mott MacDonald on behalf of the Highways Agency, building on a successful research project.
The Highways Agency seek an appropriate data registry mechanism which could be of use to a wider traffic and travel information community. This mechanism has to take account of the needs of existing developments and the expected needs that are arising out of emerging developments such as the Travel Information Highway (TIH) initiative.
A period of consultation, involving the TIH Working Group on Data Dictionary and Data Registry, led to the definition of a registry facility for a two phase trial that lasted from Spetember 2003 until March 2005. The current registry project will run until at least March 2009.
Registry Background - In Detail
Available for download below are a set of detailed overview documents covering the operational trial and pilot phases of the ITS Metadata Registry.
The Operational Trials report considers the roles of the registry within the business processes of user organisations, and these are combined with the experience of the trial to define user requirements for the registry service. The bulk of the report present the current assessment of registry issues: structure, processes, implementation, and the business benefits of a registry as well as providing overall statistic for the trial.
This Pilot Report presents the results of a one year pilot operation and summarises conclusions reached in each potential area of application, and makes recommendations for further progress of the registry as a data management tool.
The reports also assess the overall success of the trial and pilot against the objectives that were established at the outset and concludes with recommendations arising from the experiences gained.
