OpenRegister

Schemas, registers, structured data objects. The typed-data backbone underneath every other Conduction app, and the install you reach for first.

What it does

The typed-data foundation.

Define a schema once. The app gives you an API, a UI, validation, an audit log, and a citation-stable identifier per record. Every other Conduction app reads and writes through that one source of truth.

Schemas you write once.

Define a register's shape in JSON Schema. The app generates the API, validates every write, and exposes the data to other apps that speak REST.

One backbone, every app.

Every typed object lives in one register. Other apps consume it through the same API. No syncs to maintain, no duplicate sources of truth.

REST and GraphQL, auto-generated.

Both APIs roll out of the schema. No controllers to write, no spec to update when the schema changes, no glue code between OpenRegister and the apps that consume it.

Audit log, signed and timestamped.

Every read, write, and schema change leaves a tamper-evident trail. WOO and BIO compliance evidence ships with the install, no spreadsheet exports at audit time.

Citation-stable identifiers.

Every record gets a permanent identifier the moment you create it. Department reorganisations, system migrations, and renames don't break links to your data.

Open, forever.

Issues land in public, releases are tagged, and every register you create is exportable to plain JSON. The day you uninstall is as easy as the day you installed.

Pairs well with

Three apps that compound the install.

OpenRegister is the data foundation. These apps consume it, surface it, and keep it filled.

OpenCatalogi
Surfaces every register as a public, searchable catalogue entry. Two installs, one citation strategy.
OpenConnector
Fills your registers from existing systems, REST, SOAP, file drops, message queues, without writing glue code.
MyDash
Builds dashboards directly off your registers. No separate BI tool, no extra login, no ETL.

Core capabilities

JSON Schema validationDefine a register shape in JSON Schema. Every write is validated against it.
REST API, auto-generatedREST API rolls out of the schema. No controllers to write.
GraphQL endpointGraphQL endpoint also generated from the schema. Same source of truth as REST.
Schema versioningMigrations are version-stable; old clients keep working when fields are added.
Citation-stable IDsEvery record gets a permanent identifier the moment you create it.
Signed audit logAudit log is signed and timestamped. WOO and BIO compliance evidence ships with the install.
Retention policiesPer-record retention rules with automatic archival and deletion.
JSON export / importEvery register exportable to plain JSON. Import elsewhere with the same schema.
