The Aristotle Metadata Registry (or Aristotle-MDR) is an open-source Metadata Registry framework based on the ISO/IEC 11179 standard for Metadata Registries. It is influenced by the AIHW Meteor Metadata Registry and the Canadian Institute of Health Information Indicator Bank. Aristotle-MDR is designed to describe data holdings databases and associated structural metadata. The Aristotle Metadata Registry was publicly launched at the 2015 IASSIST Conference in Toronto. In 2016, the development team of the Aristotle Metadata Registry was hired by Data61 (a division of CSIRO) to continue development of the platform.

Extension API
Aristotle-MDR implements the object-oriented nature of ISO/IEC 11179 that has allowed the community to build extensions to the original metadata scope of ISO/IEC 11179. Current additional metadata types provided by the community include:
- Health indicator and Performance Indicator types to record population-level health and equality indicators such as those collected by the President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief and the World Health Organization
- A DCAT compatible extension to support Data set specifications to record columnar datasets
- Download formats for Data Documentation Initiative and DHIS
