Many different registry formats and access protocols ((r)whois(++)) for Internet registries exist right now but cannot cooperate together. RIDE explores the technical aspects and possibilities for an exchange schema for at least Internet IP, routing and domain registries. This schema will allow any Internet registry technology to work together with others for most basic operations that are interesting from a global perspective. The schema will be kept as simple as possible to allow for a minimal effort for supporting RIDE in the current existing registry technologies. Work has already commenced on a draft on the data types that were considered most urgent right now (domain and personal data). More information is available at: http://www.ISI.EDU/~davidk/ride.
