speaking of automation, sure would be nice if the rirs were compatible.
yes, still a dreamer at my age.

The RIRs have agreed to support a base level of RDAP operations/results that are consistent to the NRO RDAP Profile 
specification (https://bitbucket.org/nroecg/nro-rdap-profile/raw/v1/nro-rdap-profile.txt) .  In the profile document, 
the introduction says:

" This document defines an RDAP profile for use by the RIRs, so as to increase consistency in service offerings and 
simplify the development of client software that uses those services."

All the RIR's operate a RDAP service and have agreed to follow this profile. ARIN announced its conformance back in 
March of 2022 (https://www.arin.net/vault/blog/2022/03/09/nro-rdap-profile-conformance/).
