Name
GA4GH Schema Registry specification
Date & Time
Friday, April 4, 2025, 9:00 AM - 10:30 AM
Description

The primary goal of this session is to come to consensus on a new proposal for a schema registry standard. The schema registry is a cross-GA4GH standard that describes how different standards should intercommunicate. The first 30 minutes of the session will introduce the problem we are trying to solve, share a few specific use cases that would benefit from a schema registry, and describe the current proposal for a new schema registry specification. The final 60 minutes will be structured as an unconference, where attendees can bring up concerns, questions, and related topics. The goal is to collect feedback on the current proposal, determine if we are on the right track, and whether we are addressing broad use cases. This is a critical time: the proposed schema registry specification has taken shape, and there are likely to be 1-2 preliminary implementations, but it's not set in stone. Feedback from this session on use cases and feasibility from schema providers and consumers can still influence the final v1.0 proposal.
