DESCRIPTION:
Shares the functionalities for the i) creation, ii) storage, iii) categorisation and iv) retrieval of metadata.
Based on DAMA
http://www.dama.org/ 
INTEROPERABILITY SALIENCY:
The Metadata management Service ABB  is salient for interoperability  because it provides and shares the functionalities to manage metadata. EIF recommends to prioritise it: "Put in place an information management strategy at the highest possible level to avoid fragmentation and duplication. Management of metadata, master data and reference data should be prioritised".
EXAMPLES:
The following implementation is an example on how this specific Architecture Building Block (ABB) can be instantiated as a Solution Building Block (SBB):
Eurostat SDMX repository
The Euro SDMX Registry is Eurostat’s implementation of an SDMX registry to facilitate the exchange of statistical data and metadata by serving as a metadata repository. It stores the SDMX artefacts needed for the parties to access and interpret the content of the exchanged statistical data and metadata sets.
