Disclaimer
GS1®, under its IP Policy, seeks to avoid uncertainty regarding intellectual property claims by requiring the participants in
the Work Group that developed this GS1 Attribute Definitions for Business Standard to agree to grant to GS1
members a royalty-free licence or a RAND licence to Necessary Claims, as that term is defined in the GS1 IP Policy.
Furthermore, attention is drawn to the possibility that an implementation of one or more features of this Specification may
be the subject of a patent or other intellectual property right that does not involve a Necessary Claim. Any such patent or
other intellectual property right is not subject to the licencing obligations of GS1. Moreover, the agreement to grant
licences provided under the GS1 IP Policy does not include IP rights and any claims of third parties who were not
participants in the Work Group.
Accordingly, GS1 recommends that any organisation developing an implementation designed to be in conformance with this
Specification should determine whether there are any patents that may encompass a specific implementation that the
organisation is developing in compliance with the Specification and whether a licence under a patent or other intellectual
property right is needed. Such a determination of a need for licencing should be made in view of the details of the specific
system designed by the organisation in consultation with their own patent counsel.

GS1 Attribute Definitions for Business Standard

1         Introduction

1.1       Background
          The retail landscape is changing at an unprecedented rate. In this connected world, consumers
          increasingly rely on omni-channel information for purchasing decisions. Quality, standards-based
          information is paramount to the success of this new consumer-focused model and industry has
          looked to GS1 to provide the foundation required to support it.
          Industry examined how required data (attributes) and definitions vary greatly by retailer and region
          leading to confusion at the consumer level and untold complexity and cost and requested GS1
          facilitate a global effort to address the data inconsistencies that lead to challenges, particularly in a
          consumer-focused model. To help provide this, a simplified set of data attributes that include
          business friendly attribute names and definitions, but do not interrupt or change the current Global
          Data Synchronisation Network (GDSN) messaging, were demanded.
          In the first phase, the Consumer Goods Forum (CGF) identified approximately 180 GDSN attributes
          which are critical for the business processes: verify; list/order; move/store; and sell product digitally
          and physically. It should be stressed that GDSN attribute names and definitions are not changed by
          this standard but are supplemented by the Business names and Definitions. This will help all,
          especially business users, clearly understand the GDSN attributes in a technology agnostic way as
          well as business examples of how they are used.

                   Important: The names and definitions published here were agreed to by the GSMP Mission
                   Specific Work Group. However, the industry requested the output also be provided in a
                   simple, easy to use and navigable web support tool. This tool-set is expected to be accessible
                   via the GS1 website www.gs1.org in later 2019 and include an excel version of Table 2-1
                   which enables search, filtering and sharing of the business names and definitions.

          For each GDSN Attribute identified by the Consumer Goods Forum (CGF), the following were
          developed:
          ■   Business Name: A title clearly understandable to the business
          ■   Business Definition: A clear, concise and business friendly definition
          ■   Examples: One or more use case
          ■   Usage Statement: Encapsulating the main scenario(s) where used

          These are listed in section 2 with the following fields:
          ■   Business Message Standard Identification Number (BMS ID #), GDSN Attribute, and
              GDSN Definition: defined GDSN Trade Item Module Library Business Message Standard which
              can be consulted in the GS1 Attribute Explorer
