Data and NXS-GRX
A risk number is only as good as the record behind it. NXS-GRX (canonical data, provenance and risk), the risk-data and semantic system of Foundry, is designed to register, standardise, link and score risk data so that every statement can be traced and reproduced. This page, published by The Global Centre for Risk and Innovation (GCRI), explains how data, ontology and time are governed, and which decisions stay with the owners of the data. Information and enquiries are open today.

Preserve before transforming.
Source passports
Each source is registered with its owner, licence, access policy, update cadence, authority class and known limits before any record is standardised.
Original records kept
Originals are retained unchanged. Standardised fields are derived from them and linked back, never substituted for them.
Verification as dimensions
Integrity, conformance, plausibility, corroboration, method, rights and human review are shown separately, not as one badge.
Meaning, place and time are part of the record.
The NXS-GRX ontology describes hazards, exposures, vulnerabilities, assets, institutions and their dependencies, with shapes that validate what enters the knowledge graph. Each risk record is bound to a spatial and temporal frame and a scenario branch, so the same asset can carry different states across time and across what-if branches without conflict. Indices and losses are designed to be computed from frozen data cuts with declared methodology versions, so they can be re-run and matched.
Decisions that stay with the data owner.
- Whether data may enter a project at all, and for which purpose.
- Who may see it, at which level of detail, and whether it may be published.
- Whether it may be used to train or evaluate models.
- How long it is kept, and when it is withdrawn.
Original source authority is retained. Programme estimates stay labelled as estimates and never replace published figures.
Nexus indicators carry their own names and units.
NXS-GRX indicators use NXS-GRX-native names and units, with methods and uncertainty published. This page shows no indicator values; values appear only in released products, through Registry public records or Reports series. The scientific context is on GCRI data and NXS-GRX.
Questions and answers.
Does NXS-GRX rank countries?
Can my institution keep control of its data?
What happens when a source is corrected?
Can I see where a published figure came from?
How do I offer a dataset?
Bring a method, a dataset or a question.
Information and enquiries are open today. 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.
