What's on this page

A topic is one Zenoh key expression a vendor publishes under — for example, homemade-sensors/garage/temperature/v1. Registering it here tells the portal + inspector what to expect: which serialization the bytes use, which schema describes them, and a human description. The router doesn't enforce registration today; declaration is a polite contract that makes the inspector useful and the registry browseable.

Look at the seeded homemade-sensors rows below for a working example. Full namespace governance + version-bump rules at Docs → Namespace.

The router doesn't require this — anyone with the per-vendor cert can publish under their prefix regardless of what's in the registry. But declaring a topic here turns the inspector from "raw hex" into a readable decode + makes your namespace browsable to other vendors on the fabric.
