NS-7: Resolver landing pages, page meta tags, sitemap

Summary

Specification of NS-7

SPECIFIED in NS-1 section 1 and NS-16 section 6; implementation status per implementation in registry/consumers.yaml. Reference: registry/nexus-standards.yaml#identifier.resolver.

Electrified and connected activity in North America

The map frames North America as an example geography for the subject of NS-7; the frame gives context and is not a statement of where the standards apply. Shown at first: night-time lights, daily (VIIRS Black Marble, VNP46A2, NASA LAADS DAAC) and population density, 2020 (Gridded Population of the World v4.11, NASA SEDAC, CIESIN, Columbia University). The layer drawer adds true colour (VIIRS NOAA-20 corrected reflectance). NASA products are served through NASA GIBS under NASA's open data policy, with acknowledgement; population density is GPW v4.11 by CIESIN, Columbia University, under CC BY 4.0; coastlines, boundaries and place names come from NASA GIBS reference layers (© OpenStreetMap contributors, ODbL) and Natural Earth (public domain). Each layer shows its own observation date; full credits are given under the map.

NS-7 among the standards.

The standard as a process

A request for /uni/<UNI (Unique Nexus Identifier)> is parsed and validated, the record is looked up, the response is negotiated (an HTML landing page for people, JSON for machines), versions and withdrawn states are shown with the record, and the page is listed in the sitemap. 7 operations in 5 phases; each states its actor, its decision rule, the record it leaves and the rule identifiers it implements (5 rules of NS-7 and the standards it applies).

Resolver path and responses

Path template /uni/{uni}. NS-7: a resolver serves /uni (index) and /uni/<uni> as an HTML landing page (with the nexus-uni meta tag and Schema.org JSON-LD) or as JSON by content negotiation; /uni/<uni>.json is always JSON. A public resolver serves PUBLISHED, non-restricted records only. An implementation may also serve an authenticated catalog API under its own trust and assurance controls. The catalog file stays the reconstructable source.

Recent research on NS-7

Recent peer-reviewed articles, preprints, datasets and reports on the subject of this standard, retrieved at the time of reading from open scholarly metadata services (OpenAlex, Crossref, DataCite, Zenodo, arXiv, Europe PMC, OpenAIRE Graph) with search terms composed from the registry. Each work is listed with its authors, venue, year, type, open-access status and licence, and links to its DOI or landing page. Sources not yet enabled for live display on this site are listed for reference and are not queried.

How NS-7 is developed, and how to take part

NS-7 is developed in the open under NS-13 (the stages and gates of NS-13). Working groups draft, councils decide the reserved matters, and anyone may propose a change, comment, submit an implementation report, object or appeal, without membership or fee.

Relation to external standards

NS-7 relates to external standards by identifier, clause number and URL (NS14-R1), and directs the reader to the issuing body.

Recent research and sources

Peer-reviewed articles, preprints, reports and datasets on the subject of this standard, retrieved at the time of reading from open scholarly metadata services (OpenAlex and Crossref) and listed with authors, venue, year, type and access status, with a link to each work. Curated references and related standards are listed first; recent works matched by subject follow and are listed for orientation.

Programmes, tracks and courses for this standard

GCRI Canada and Risk Academy work on the subject of NS-7 in distinct roles (research and evidence; education and training). Each entry states why it corresponds and the step it offers; each institution sets its own terms of participation.
