Resolver

The Resolver is the central component of the OpenDiscovery project. Its task is to aquire information about a legal business entity based on the international version of its corporate ID. For businesses in the European Union this implies the EUID as defined in EU Regulation 2015/884 of 8 June 2015.

The resolver distinguishes between two classes of information about a business:
Official: Information retrieved from the business register
Voluntary: Self-asserted and/or third party certified information exhibited by the business itself, e.g. using the OpenDiscovery Business Publisher.

Technically the resolver works by:

• Looking up the ID on the root provider, but is redirected to the country specific provider (See example).
• Then looking up the ID on the country specific provider. Here it's returned with the official attributes, and an address for the voluntary provider used by the business (See example).
• Then looking up the ID on the voluntary provider. Here it's returned with the voluntary attributes offered by the business (See example).
• Finally the resolver merges all the recevied data into one reply to the client (See example).
