Schematical overview of the 3D-Beacons infrastructure
3D-Beacons consists of a Registry, a Hub/Integrator and Beacons/Hosts. The Registry is used by the Hub to lookup which API endpoints are supported by the various Beacons/Hosts. The Beacons/Hosts provide data following the 3D-Beacons data specifications ([Current version: 0.3.1](https://app.swaggerhub.com/apis/3dbeacons/3D-Beacons/0.3.1))

The 3D-Beacons Registry records meta-information about all the contributing partner resources, and lists the API endpoints that they support. In other words, looking at the registry will give specific information on which API endpoints provide what data from which data resource.
The Registry is implemented as a JSON object that complies with the schema specification, which is also included in this repository.
