Portals, shown to users as PORTS, publishes public-safe views: maps, indicators and pages that external audiences can use, with only released, rights-cleared content leaving the Foundry.
Fig.The Nexus cycle, from question to renewal. Design, not a record of a run.
Portals is the Nexus Foundry system for public-safe publication and delivery to specific audiences. It serves 5 platforms, among them Nexus Registry and Nexus Campaigns, and its stated limit is that publication never overrides source permission. Access is through an authorized project with an accountable owner, data terms and a review plan.
Urban demand centres and the hubs that anchor digital and data infrastructure, shown for Brazil as an example geography for this subject.
A public map can reveal the location of critical assets or vulnerable people if aggregation and release rules are not enforced. Public-safe publication separates what may be shown from what is held, and makes the release decision explicit.

The bodies and documents this page is read against. Status and editions change; each link goes to the issuing body.
The current service level is R0: information and enquiries. An enquiry receives a reference and names the next step; applications, payments, compute allocations and registrations open only when their team, terms and review capacity exist.
