core Components are not part of an ebXML Registry. However, an ebXMl 
Registry is used as a repository for Core Components. Among other 
things, the registry provides the ability to:

-Publish CCs to it

-Perform content-specific validation of CC when submitted

-Perform content-specific cataloging of CC when submitted (to facilitate 
discovery)

-Classify CC using arbitrary taxonomies

-Associate CCs with each other and other types of content in arbitrary ways

-Annotate CCs with a variety of metadata

-Allow discovery of published CCs using adhoc queries in SQL and XML syntax

-Notifying interested parties when a CC is modified in the registry

-Provide HTTP URI based access to all CC and related content and metadata

All of the above capabilities of the ebXML Registry are generic and will 
work the same for any other type of content substituted in above 
statements in place of CC.

The above question are best answered by experts from the CC team. I will 
give a lay answer.

CC are used as common building blocks for business documents. What 
Trading Partners implement is the Business Documents and the Business 
Processes that process those documents. In most cases a Trading Partner 
is not dealing at the CC level unless they choose to define new business 
documents.
