'''Fusion Registry''' and its components is now brought to you by Regnology, a global leader in Financial and Tax Regulatory Reporting Solutions for Regulators and Regulated firms. Regnology acquired Metadata Technology Ltd in May 2023. You can read more here: [https://www.regnology.net/en/resources/news/regnology-acquires-metadata-technology/ Press Release].
Fusion Registry 10 is for central banks, international organisations, national statistics offices, development banks and regional statistics authorities who need to collect, integrate, store, process and publish aggregated official statistics.
 
  
It implements the SDMX international standard for official statistics making it robust, non-proprietary and easy to exchange both data and metadata.
+
The acquisition does not affect the functionality of Fusion Registry and it's modules, although further brand changes may follow in the coming months.
  
Version 10.0 was released in January 2020 and replaces Fusion Registry 9.

==Fusion Portal Topics==
Fusion Data Mapper provides a web user Interface to administer Structure Maps in the Fusion Registry, where the maps support a specific use case – mapping from Single Dimension Data Structures to multidimensional Data Structures.  This use case is borne out of statistical applications which model time series datasets as a single unique identifier for the Series alongside a Time Dimension.  By modelling these dataset as a DSD with one Dimension (and a Time Dimension), it is very easy to overlay SDMX metadata to describe the Time Series as a multidimensional Cube with additional series Attributes to carry richer metadata.

Fusion Portal is a web application made up of HTML, JavaScript, Images, and CSS files. The Portal allows you to call data from SDMX Webservices and other sources which enables you to obtain data from the data provider and import it directly into Fusion Registry.

==Fusion Data Browser Topics==
Fusion Edge Server is a solution for supporting high performance data and metadata dissemination, with high throughput. The Fusion Edge Server serves all data, related metadata, including reference metadata, from its highly optimised in memory store and as such has no reliance on a database. The Fusion Edge Server has been designed to support the use case of high availability of data through load balancing.
+
Web tool for data consumers to explore the Fusion Registry data catalogue, create charts and tables, and download data.
Fusion Edge Server provides access to its stored data and metadata through SDMX compliant web services, and includes support for non-SDMX data formats such as CSV and Excel. The Fusion Edge Server extends the SDMX web services by providing additional information such as data metrics, and data search.
 
 
 
Fusion Edge Server is compatible with Fusion Data Browser and Fusion XL, providing an off-the-shelf solution for both web based data exploration, and from within Microsoft Excel. Connectivity to statistical software such as R and Matlab can be achieved using third party SDMX Connector libraries such as the [https://github.com/amattioc/SDMX SDMX Connectors project].
