## Instructions for Registering new IRIs in CCO

Developers need to register any new IRIs they create in a csv file that is solely maintained on a separate [branch](https://github.com/CommonCoreOntology/CommonCoreOntologies/tree/iri-registry-branch/). 

To that end: 

1. Navigate to this [directory](https://github.com/CommonCoreOntology/CommonCoreOntologies/tree/iri-registry-branch/documentation/contributing) on the IRI Registry branch.
2. Open the file `iri-registry.csv` located here and navigate to the bottom row of the file.
3. In the next empty row, add the next IRI(s) as an increment from the last one, as well as your name, the date, and associated issue.
4. Commit your changes directly to the IRI Registry Branch and push to origin.
6. Now you can open a new branch to execute your work using the IRIs that you have registered.
