Standards for various multimedia and application fields have been developed, and the standardization for the multimedia and applications have been making as ISO/IEC 13249 packages by ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC 32/WG 4. This paper describes SQL/MM part 8, which is currently being standardized for providing consistent access support to metadata registries. Systems for ISO/IEC 11179-metadata registries, the international standard, have been realized and utilized in various fields. However, there is no standardized query processing to share and exchange information between the systems, and thus it causes many problems. Therefore, SQL/MM part 8 described in this paper resolves these problems as well as makes users easily understand it.
