eXtended MetaData Registry (XMDR) Project

This survey is currently divided into two top-level categories, which I have called "Platforms and Components" and "Protocols, Languages, and Interfaces". While these are not always entirely distinct, they are still very useful. There is also an Alphabetical Index.
