ISA² - Interoperability solutions for public administrations, businesses and citizens

Re3gistry

The Re3gistry is a tool to manage and share reference codes.

It provides a central access point that allows labels and descriptions for reference codes to be easily looked up by humans or retrieved by machines.

It supports organisations in managing and updating reference codes consistently in a well governed manner so that all versions of a code remain traceable and adequately documented over time.

The Re3gistry development started under the ISA Are3na action. It continues under the ISA2 ELISE action.

When is this solution for you? 

When you need to manage and share reference codes within and between organisations, the Re3gistry solution can support you. These reference codes uniquely define sets of permissible values for a data field or provide context for the exchanged data. Examples of reference codes are simple enumerations and flat lists to complex controlled vocabularies, taxonomies, thesauri.

What can we offer you? 

By using the Re3gistry, you can:

  • avoid common errors such as entering synonyms or spelling mistakes when filling in online forms
  • facilitate internationalisation of user interfaces by providing multilingual labels
  • ensure semantic interoperability when exchanging data between systems and applications
  • apply a well-known governance model to accept and update reference codes
  • promote the value and the reuse of reference codes

Austrian (CCCA) registryThe Re3gistry, as vocabulary server, is needed to make code list and their content open available. The important task of a registry is to provide persistent identifier. Keep the versions and time stamps, as kind as provenance information is essential. Provide a structure of a controlled vocabulary, as a value, has a mandatory definition and a label is not negligible."
