USG Registry Architecture
Standards-Track Specification for Canonical Sports Rights Registries
RFC 0003 defines the Registry Architecture for the Universal Sports Graph (USG). It normatively specifies registry object models, canonical identifiers, lifecycle and versioning semantics, deterministic JSON formatting, SHA-256 integrity requirements, index structures, federation and authority rules, key registry integration, and validation requirements. This RFC formalizes how USG registries are structured, validated, and federated in pilot and production implementations.
