Registry Query

A query against any registry will take this standard form, using terms defined in the RegistryMetadata and ResourceMetadata specifications.

A query might come directly from a user activity (eg using a GUI to determine which 'XRay Archives' are available and their access restrictions) or from another registry (in order, perhaps, to satisfy another user activity).
