I disagree that an ISO/IEC 11179 registry is based on a hierarchy of concepts. Where does this idea originate? When I get time, I will try to rewrite this section based on the actual specification.

I propose that the examples of naming be merged into Data element name.

I agree that the hierarchy of concepts is not a required structure. But it seems that most large metadata registries have some hierarchy. Do you have any other suggetions on the language here? Also, I did the merge to data element name. Thanks Ray! - Feb 1 2006 Dan
