Register metadata

While the ORM models define how data is stored in the database and the Pydantic schemas define validation and API data structures, the OpenG2P Registry platform also requires registers to be defined in platform metadata tables.

These metadata definitions allow the platform to dynamically:

• Discover available registers

• Configure UI rendering

• Route API requests

• Load appropriate service classes and domain models

The metadata is also important for the Registry UI layer, which uses these definitions to dynamically render register interfaces and workflows.

The primary metadata table used for this purpose is g2p_register_definition.

Register metadata can be created either:

• Directly through database configuration scripts, or

• Through the Configuration section of the Registry Staff UI
