Building Block specifications

Building Blocks build the basis for scalable, interoperable digital services.

GovSpecs

The sandbox to �experiment and create.

A digital testing environment to learn, experiment, and prototype services.

GovTest

The global knowledge �hub for e-government.

Communities of Practice (like the CIO Digital Leaders Forum) foster exchange on best practices and tools.

GovLearn

Country Engagement

Countries build their services based on Building Block specifications

Countries may contribute to their development in working groups.

Countries identify and prioritize use cases which can then be demonstrated, tested and explored in sandboxes.

Countries benefit from capacity building (e-learning, workshops) and exchange knowledge through Communities of Practice.

Description of the Digital Registries Building Block

These specifications are tailored to facilitate the establishment and management of registry databases, catering to both registry service owners, who curate essential data, and citizens and businesses, who find a secure channel to engage with government processes.

Within this context, a "registry" embodies the capacity to:

capture,
retain,
search,
distribute, and
present data,

all with minimal to no requirement for software development (NO-CODE).

Moreover, it serves as a custodian of transaction logs, meticulously chronicling all activities transpiring within database schemas and datasets.

Data Structure

The Digital Registries Building Block may contain multiple registries/databases.

The dynamic nature of the database structure requires a standard set of automatically generated APIs for all databases hosted on the platform.

The system generates default API method endpoints automatically after each publication of the database schema. A new API service version is generated after each schema publish. Database schema version and API versions are in sync.

... when the specifications have been implemented.

Key takeaways

Create and manage registry database (no-code)
Safe data storage
Advanced administration capabilities
Automatic API generation, for consultation and exchange of data with other systems
Easy integration with the Registration BB
API to create/update/delete database schema

Digital Registries Building Block is a no-code application meant to offer intuitive database/register creation and management functionalities.

Digital Registries BB is simple to use, similar to online Excel with advanced data management, log and connectivity options for advanced users.

How long does it usually take to create a registry with API interface to start accepting records?

With digital registries by non-programmer it will take minutes.
