Registry gateway
The Nexus Registry is the public-safe record of the programme: what exists, in which state, on what source and in which version. The Global Centre for Risk and Innovation (GCRI) stewards it so that any claim on a Nexus page can be traced to a record. A registry entry states its status, its source reference and its version history, and it never shows a record that does not exist. This gateway explains what the Registry holds and how its records change. Return to Nexus Ecosystem.

The short answer.
The Nexus Registry is the public-safe record of the programme: what exists, in which state, on what source and in which version. GCRI stewards it so that any claim on a Nexus page can be traced to a record, and an entry never shows a record that does not exist or anything unsafe to publish.

What the Registry is designed to hold.
| Class | Example fields |
|---|---|
| Programmes | Region, country or mission; programme state; accountable structure; date of last change |
| Evidence | Source, evidence label, rights, method reference and version |
| Publications | Series, edition, review chain, release state and correction history |
| Resources | Resource state from offered to accepted, with owner and constraints |
| Corrections | What changed, why, who accepted the change and when |
Records before status.
One state per record
Each record carries one explicit state from a published vocabulary, never an informal label.
A reference for every claim
Every entry cites the document or decision behind it, or says that none exists.
No silent edits
A change creates a new version with its history; earlier versions remain inspectable.
What is never published.
A public record must be safe to publish as well as true. Entries are checked against these limits before release.
- Restricted infrastructure topology, personal data and protected community knowledge.
- Records whose owner has not authorized publication.
- Draft instruments presented as adopted, or planned reports presented as released.

Where to find records now.
Registry records are published on Nexus Registry as they are authorized. Current programme states are summarised on Programme status, and GCRI's claims register on Claims and readiness register. The current service level is R0: information and enquiries. The equivalent register of The Global Risks Alliance (GRA) is its claims and programme status page.
