:The Architecture of a repository for enabling wide-scale knowledge searching and sharing of ontologies, must be open and extensible. The Architecture design should be modular in nature and provide for ontology storing, sharing, searching, governance, and management of the repository infrastructure and content. {nid 1GIP}

:6.1 Architecture Approach {nid 1GIQ}

::The core approach for the Open Ontology Repository is a federated architecture with the flavor of service oriented architectures. This approach provides for distributed ontology storage, repository management and service support. {nid 1GIR}

:: The overall assessment of the community is to enable open, distributed, federated repositories, and to provide metadata for each ontology registered, as well as providing connections for logical services, inference engines etc. {nid 1GIS}

:: Those who engage in the federation may include both open and closed content. All metadata required for sharing must be open. This metadata must include the access constraints. {nid 1GIT}

:6.2 Core Requirements {nid 1GIU}

:: 1. The repository architecture shall be scalable. {nid 1GIW}
:: 2. The architecture shall be optimized for sharing, collaboration and reuse. {nid 1GIX}
:: 3. The repository shall be capable of supporting ontologies in multiple formats and levels of formalism. {nid 1GIY}
:: 4. The repository architecture shall support distributed repositories. {nid 1GIZ}
:: 5. The repository architecture shall support explicit machine usable/accessible formal semantics for the metamodel of the repository {nid 1GJ0}
:: 6. The repository shall provide a mechanism to address intellectual property and related legal issues/problems {nid 1GJ1}
:: 7. The repository architecture shall include a core set of services, such-as, support of adding ontologies, searching, and tie-in of data related to the stored ontologies. {nid 1GJ2}
:: 8. The repository architecture shall support additional services both directly within the province of the repository and as external services. {nid 1GJ3}
:: 9. The repository should support all phases of the ontology lifecycle. {nid 1GJ4}
