The Global Centre for Risk and Innovation (GCRI)
A risk number is only as good as the record behind it. GRIx, the risk-data and semantic system of Nexus Foundry, is designed to register, standardize, 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. The current service level is R0: information and enquiries.

GRIx is the risk-data and semantic system of Nexus Foundry, designed to register, standardize, link and score risk data so that every statement can be traced and reproduced. The page explains how data, ontology and time are governed, and which decisions stay with the owners of the data.
Urban demand centres and the hubs that anchor digital and data infrastructure, shown for Indonesia as an example geography for this subject.
Each source is registered with its owner, licence, access policy, update cadence, authority class and known limits before any record is standardized.
Originals are retained unchanged. Standardized fields are derived from them and linked back, never substituted for them.
Integrity, conformance, plausibility, corroboration, method, rights and human review are shown separately, not as one badge.
The GRIx 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.
Original source authority is retained. Nexus estimates stay labelled as estimates and never replace officially reported figures.
Each term as this page uses it. Where a standard-setting body defines the term, the wording follows that body.
| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| Controlled vocabulary | An agreed list of terms used to describe data consistently. |
| Data lineage | The traceable path of data from its origin through each transformation to its current form. |
| Composite governance index | An index combining several governance indicators, whose weighting and sources must be stated. |
| Data vintage | The release of a statistic, identified by date, since figures are revised after first publication. |
GRIx indicators use GRIx-native names and units, with methods and uncertainty published. This page shows no indicator values; values appear only in released products, through Nexus Registry public records or Nexus Reports series. The scientific context is on GCRI data and GRIx.
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.
