The Re3gistry 2 is a reusable open source solution for managing and sharing "reference codes".

It provides a consistent central access point where labels and descriptions for reference codes can be easily browsed by humans and retrieved by machines.

Reference codes are exchanged between applications to uniquely reference some ‘thing’. They can be used to define sets of permissible values for a data field or to provide a reference or context for the data being exchanged. Examples are enumerations, controlled vocabularies, taxonomies, thesauri or, simply, ‘lists of things’.

The Re3gistry 2 supports organisations in managing and updating reference codes in a consistent way.

The Re3gistry software version numbers comply with the Semantic Versioning Specification 2.0.0.

The development of this tool has been funded by the European Iinteroperability Programme ISA2 though the ELISE action. The European Location Interoperability Solutions for e-Government (ELISE) Action aims at Enabling Digital Government through Geospatial Data and Location Intelligence.

This new version of the software has been developed in cooperation with the National Land Survey of Finland.
