UNTP Conformity Vocabulary Catalogue Register

A federated directory of conformity schemes that publish UNTP Conformity Vocabulary Catalogue (CVC) vocabularies. Each entry catalogues one scheme operated by a registered owner, points at the owner's published vocabularyURL, and carries agent-discovered profile metadata (topics, standards/regulatory alignments, validity dates, criterion count). Profile and criterion content remains canonical at the scheme owner's URL; the register is a discovery layer over a federation of independently-published scheme vocabularies, providing the global entry point for thousands of conformity vocabularies. NOTE: Phase 0 seed migration of the four entries previously hand-curated. All scheme owner DIDs are placeholders pending owner outreach. The example vocabulary URLs currently resolve to the test domain vocab.deploy2cloud.com.au and will move to scheme owner production domains during Phase 1.

Not yet operational at Phase 0.
