5.2 UML notation
Some of the diagrams that appear in this document are presented using the Unified Modeling UML notation. Subclause 5.2 of [OGC 05-008c1] provides some general guidance
regarding the use of class diagrams.
5.3 Namespace prefix conventions
Table 2 lists the namespaces used in this document and the specifications in which they are defined. The prefixes are not normative and are merely chosen for convenience; they may
appear in examples without being formally declared, and have no semantic significance. The namespaces to which the prefixes correspond are normative, however.

Requirements are presented using the following style:
Req reqrequirements class idlocal requirement id
requirement text
Copyright © 2014 Open Geospatial Consortium
18 reqrequirements class idlocal requirement id is the unique identifier within the
document. It is the path fragement that appended to the URI identified in Clause 2 provides the URI of the requirement which can be used to unamibiguously identify the requirement.
requirement text is the requirement itself. Recommentdation are written in bold text, normative verbs like SHALL are written in

6 Catalog infrastructure overview Enterprise Viewpoint 6.1
Application domain
A metadata repository managed by a catalogue implementing this extension package deals with ISO 19115, ISO 19115-2 and ISO 19119 compliant metadata ISO19139 encoded with
a specific focus on geospatial data, geospatial services and geospatial applications. This document does not attempt to specify a general-purpose catalogue. Rather, it allows the
retrieval and management of the metadata objects referred to above.
This extension package has no specific disciplinary focus. All communities working with these sorts of geospatial information are addressed. Typical communities are earth
observation, meteorology, energiewende, surveying, environment, geology, landscaping, water management, telecommunications etc.
The intention is to implement the generally understood ISO1911519115-219119 information model based on the metamodel as defined in ebRIM profile of CS-W. It should model at most
as many ebRIM RegistryObjects as required to be able to provide the most important use- cases for discovery needed by the communities named above.
This specification is based on the OGC CSW-ebRIM Registry Service - Part 1: ebRIM profile of CSW [OGC 07-110]. The essential capabilities of a catalogue service within a service-
oriented architecture are described in clause 6.1 of the profile. It is further aligned with the ISO 19115 and ISO 19119 extensions defined in [OGC 07-045].
