Today, Friday, April 22, 2022, Digital Agency has launched a registry catalog and a demonstration site in base registry for address as a pilot project of the base registry.
The base registry is the basic data of society, such as persons, corporations, lands, buildings, and qualifications, registered and disclosed by public institutions, etc., and referred to in various situations. It is a database that serves as the foundation of society and ensures accuracy and currency. (For details on the base registry, please refer to Base Registry .)
In order to improve the efficiency of society as a whole, such as realizing one time-only administrative procedures, and to create new services such as smart cities, it is necessary to develop and utilize data that is the foundation of society as a whole, such as My Number and geospatial information.
Therefore, first of all, we define the base registry as "a database that is the basic data of society, such as people, corporations, land, buildings, and qualifications, registered and disclosed by public institutions, etc., and referred to in various situations, and that is the foundation of society that is ensured to be accurate and up-to-date." To be specific, on May 26, 2021, decided to designate the base registry (PDF / 803 KB) , and we are promoting the development of the base registry in accordance with this decision document.
For example, the Geospatial Information Authority of Japan, which has jurisdiction over the Electronic National Basic Map designated as the base registry in the field of land and maps, is promoting the development and upgrading of map information, which will be the foundation of the base registry. In each public authorities that has data designated as the base registry, we are advancing efforts in cooperation with Digital Agency.
This time, we are pleased to announce that we have released the demonstration sites of "Registry Catalog" and "Digital Agency," which disclose the base registry, which were promoted as a pilot project in the development of the base registry promoted by base registry for address.
