A ‘register’ is an authoritative list of data you can trust. Government keeping and maintaining open registers can help us move beyond relying upon data which is published periodically to operating on data that is trustworthy, standardised and open. Used widely, registers will help the UK to build better services, more cheaply and quickly.
In this talk, Paul Downey from the Government Digital Service will share the vision for what open registers can help achieve, and the characteristics an open register needs in order to appear on the new register.gov.uk domain. To demonstrate this, Paul will take a list of government data through the Register Design Authority process.

27. The mirror
principle
— the register of title should reflect, accurately and
completely, and beyond all argument, the facts that
are material to the title
28. The curtain
principle
— the public register should be the sole and definitive
source of information for proposing purchasers, but
not reveal sensitive information
29. The insurance
principle
— if, as a result of human error, the title is proved to
be defective in any way, then the person or persons
suffering loss as a result must be able to claim
compensation
