Preview release. These docs are a work in progress. Pages are still being written, links may break, and structure may shift without notice. Treat everything here as a draft and report issues on GitHub.
This page summarizes selected external validation evidence for Registry Manifest and Registry Notary. It is not a certification statement, and it does not claim every generated artifact or every runtime deployment has been tested.
Summary
Section titled “Summary”| Product | Artifact | External check | Result | Boundary |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Registry Manifest | Generated JSON Schema Draft 2020-12 files for the civil-registration fixture | ITB JSON validator, any domain, with the Draft 2020-12 metaschema embedded | SUCCESS, 0 errors, 0 warnings | Selected generated schemas only |
| Registry Manifest | Generated DCAT JSON-LD for the civil-registration fixture | Public ITB/SEMIC SHACL validator, dcatap.3_0_1_base0 | SUCCESS, 0 errors, 0 warnings | Selected DCAT artifact only |
| Registry Manifest | Generated BRegDCAT-AP JSON-LD for the civil-registration fixture | Public ITB/SEMIC SHACL validator, bregdcatap.2_0_0 and bregdcatap.2_1_0 | SUCCESS, 0 errors, 2 warnings per profile | Passes with warnings; see the owning Manifest PR |
| Registry Notary | Generated OpenAPI 3.1 document | ITB JSON validator against the OpenAPI 3.1 schema | SUCCESS, 0 errors, 0 warnings | OpenAPI hygiene only, not runtime GITB coverage |
Source links
Section titled “Source links”- Registry Manifest records the repeatable smoke path and warning boundary in jeremi/registry-manifest#27.
- Registry Notary records the protected discovery policy and GITB runtime-suite target in jeremi/registry-notary#245.
- The Manifest follow-up issues for BRegDCAT warnings are
publisher CorporateBodyRestriction and
dcat:themeTaxonomy.
What is not covered
Section titled “What is not covered”- Registry Notary runtime behavior has not been validated by a GITB scenario suite.
- Registry Notary OpenAPI validation proves that the generated API document is structurally valid; it does not prove authenticated evaluation, credential issuance, federation replay handling, or SD-JWT VC verification.
- Registry Manifest BRegDCAT-AP output passes the selected public validators with warnings.
The warning profiles differ on
dcat:themeTaxonomy, so the warnings are documented rather than hidden. - The evidence applies to selected fixtures and profiles, not to every possible operator manifest or deployment.
Public wording
Section titled “Public wording”Use restrained wording:
- “Registry Manifest has external validation evidence for selected generated JSON Schema, DCAT, and BRegDCAT-AP artifacts.”
- “The selected BRegDCAT-AP artifact passes the public ITB/SEMIC validator profiles with warnings.”
- “Registry Notary OpenAPI validates as OpenAPI 3.1, but runtime GITB scenarios are not yet covered.”
Avoid:
- “EU certified”
- “Officially validated”
- “Fully compliant”
- Unqualified “conformant”
- Review the standards register for the broader claim-level model.
- Review the contracts register for machine-readable surfaces and their owning repos.
