The Regno Open Data Standard (hereon known as the Regno Standard) defines a single data format that can be written and read by all systems. Specifically, the Regno Standard defines the format of a fixed collection of performant JSON documents that are used to store data, configuration and meta information for any format or source of data.
Each of the documents that comprise the Regno Standard has been designed to be as lightweight as possible, containing only a small subset of the complete data set. The documents have also been designed to be fast and simple to index, ready for use in a document database environment.
When all the individual documents are combined and stored in a document database the true power of the Regno Standard can be harnessed; lightning fast data query and access supported by on demand compute and storage resource, allowing for the first time a truly single combined pool of data generated from a variety of sources.
Once data is stripped back and exists in an always ready pool, engineers and data scientists are free to create cross queries, generate data supersets, data mine, model and augment data and add it back to the data pool ready for analysis and visualisation. This is the Regno Standard vision.
The Regno Standard has been designed from the ground up by Regno Software, to provide a standardised data format that eliminates many of the fragmented and proprietary data formats that currently exist. Without the Regno Standard the following will continue to grow unabated.
There is an ever continuous increase in the type and amount of data generated, along with the format that it is stored in.
Each new type and format of data further increases data isolation and the complexity required to cross query and aggregate data sets.
Each proprietary data format implements its own level of data restriction, including locking users out of data that they have generated.
For any given experiment, data is often generated in multiple formats by multiple devices, with the complete data picture never truly understood.
Each proprietary data format often comes with its own tool chain, locking users and organisations into a data format simply due to the effort required to retool to suit the next proprietary format.
Many data formats are of a historical origin and are unsuited to formats required for Big Data, making advancements in modelling difficult and expensive.
-
With feedback and contributions from users and governed by a Technical Working Group, the Regno Standard continues to be shaped by those who use it.
-
Built on JSON and designed for existing Web Technologies.
-
All data in a single pool regardless of source, type or format. Search, extract, visualise and augment data quickly and easily.
-
Ready for use in any cloud or on-premises infrastructure. Document storage and compute resource can be dynamically scaled on demand.
-
Comprehensive documentation backed by GitHub for support and revision control.
