Current Status

• OpenRegistry is still very much in development.
• The data model is well developed.
• The service layer can perform most of the basic CRUD tasks
• Matching architecture is in place but requires algorithm development
• The REST interface is functional for many basic tasks
• The User Interface is still in early development

Core Functionality

• Interfaces for web, batch, and real-time data transfer
• Identity data store
• Identity reconciliation from multiple systems of record
• Identifier assignment for new, unique individuals

Additional Functionality

• Data beyond Persons: Groups, Courses, Credentials, Accounts
• Business Rule based data transformations

More than just a Registry, some periphery too

• Directory Builder
• Provisioning and Deprovisioning

Why OpenRegistry?

• "Off the shelf" solutions usually end up requiring significant customizations and integration work and/or solve only a portion of an institution's needs
• Lots of institutions still rolling their own
• Combined institutional efforts better leverage scant resources and allow for learning from others' experience (eg: Sakai, uPortal, CAS, Shibboleth, Kuali)
• OpenRegistry is tailored to the needs of higher ed
