# Data Rights Registry Citizens may not always know which organisations are processing their data. In this case, it could be desirable to have an authority that keeps track of which organisations process what data, and where their API is available. Regardless on whether this needs to become a registry, there will be a need for standardising the discovery of Open Data Rights APIs. Multiple models for facilitating this idea can be though of, both centralised and decentralised. However, we encourage the Open Data Rights community to strongly consider the user experience of data rights when operationalising these ideas. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question. Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter: ``` GET https://whitepaper.open-data-rights.org/future-considerations/data-rights-registry.md?ask= ``` The question should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
