Why

• Monolithic, one size fits all• Rigid class characteristics• Rigid attribute usage• Reduced flexibility for managing different business scenarios

(products, geopolitical, regulatory).

• Not scalable• Scalability is increasingly important as more demands are placed on

the standard (e.g. MR4 has over 300 new requirements).

Example

Contexts



Goals in Creating Contexts

• Make contexts specific enough to limit the attributes and rules to those required for a certain scenario.

• To limit the number of contexts that the network needs to maintain and that Data Recipients need to register.

• What does this mean?:• a slimmer set of attributes that trading partners have to

understand.

• context sets that are able to handle specific needs of different products/industries/regulations etc.



Management of Contexts

• The creation of contexts will be managed through the GSMP.

• They will be managed like other message standards through versioning and release schedules.

• Contexts will be stored in the GDD for retrieval along with associated data and rules.

• Only contexts created through GSMP will be used within the GDSN.



Context and Attributes

• Definitions, Data Types, Facets do not change per context.

• Context will drive presence of attributes and cardinality/Optionality.

• Context could also drive appropriate code list values.



Effect on PRICAT Mapping

• There will still be a single pool of GS1 Trade Item attributes to pull from even if they are subdivided within GDSN by context.

• The challenge in mapping will be in differences in mapping optionality and cardinality.
