Challenges with openIMIS adaptor for Digital Registry BB
@Łukasz Ruzicki
openIMIS is not fully compliant with Digital-Registry BB objective of being “multi-tenant platform where users can create and manage new registry databases. Each registry database created in the system will have automatically REST services generated." (definition from 4. key digital functionalities).
openIMIS still can serve as Digital-Registry for multiple use cases (including USCT) and proper adaptor module would enable users to map external data formats to the internal structures, but as long as they’re within certain domain (e.g. beneficiaries can be mapped, but digital-registry for car storage wouldn’t work) and “stretch” it for particular Use Cases.
Based on this conditions we should be fine with continuing development of the adaptor for the openIMIS Digital-Registry BB, and there’s no need to switch for another BB Implementation yet. Correctly created adaptor will make it easier to fine tune the openIMIS for multiple use case requirements.
