#Open Registry
##What is OpenRegistry? OpenRegistry is an OpenSource Identity Management System (IDMS). It's a place for data about people affiliated with your organization.
##Core Functionality
- Interfaces for web, batch, and real-time data transfer
- Identity data store
- Identity reconciliation from multiple systems of record
- Identifier assignment for new, unique individuals
##Why OpenRegistry?
- "Off the shelf" solutions usually end up requiring significant customizations and integration work and/or solve only a portion of an institution's needs
- Lots of institutions still rolling their own
- Combined institutional efforts better leverage scant resources and allow for learning from others' experience (eg: Sakai, uPortal, CAS, Shibboleth, Kuali)
- OpenRegistry is tailored to the needs of higher education
