• Each organization only has to create one description record about itself and provide the URL of that description to a central Registry; from that moment onwards, all information systems can use information in that record.
• GFAR and FAO will facilitate the process of creating the record and registering the URL by providing web tools that will create the record in the standard format based on a web form and will send the URL to the central Registry.
• Each organization owns its own record and can update it when necessary, with no need to notify anyone.
• Information systems can easily update their databases by harvesting all URLs registered in the central Registry of GFAR.
• Information systems can easily read and process the records as they are all in the same format.
• The central Registry File itself will be a Global Public Good on which everyone can leverage.
