What it is Derived, awaiting review

This meta-model describes items in their market aspect: the good as a saleable class with its classification codes, identifiers, units of measure, packaging hierarchy and batch structure.

Note: First sentence of the legacy card introduction.

Why it exists Filled

Items in their market aspect

Distinguishing features Derived, awaiting review

  • It is its own model because market-facing description evolves on catalogue time (assortments, codes, pack changes) independently of both the chemistry of matter (M1) and the life of individual instances (M2), and because exchange models across the catalogue need a stable good identity to transact against.

What robots and AI may and may not do Missing, in the backlog

Owners Filled

Steward

Each good record is stewarded by its seller or holder as established in the catalogue's S1 ownership model; syndication and lookup by other parties happen only under grants issued through S1/S2, with S4 providing the audit trail.

Links to other meta-models Filled

references

  • world.physicalItem - serialized instances of a good are items; the item's kind reference resolves here.
  • world.materialSubstance - composition and hazard disclosures attached to a good resolve to substance classes.
  • (inbound) from the exchange cluster (X) - offers, sales and settlements refer to good identities defined here; this model holds no transaction facts itself.

extends

  • (inbound) - world.foodDrink (M4) and world.medicine (M5) specialize the good with nutrition and medicinal semantics.

imports

  • gs1-gpc - REFERENCE: brick-level product classification scheme.
  • gs1-gtin - REFERENCE: identifier scheme for goods at each packaging level.
  • unspsc - REFERENCE: procurement-oriented classification alternative.
  • unece-rec20 - REFERENCE: code list for units of measure.

What else AI and robots need to interact with it Incomplete

Identity and identifiers required Derived, awaiting review

  • goodVariant: a variant of a base good; key attributes: varying dimension, variant value, own identifiers.
  • identifierAssignment: an identifier issued for the good at a packaging level; key attributes: scheme, value, level, issue date.

Direct properties not applicable Not applicable

Not applicable

Institutional or informational subject: no invented physical properties.

Recognition optional Missing, in the backlog

Not described yet. This gap is in the card backlog.

Capabilities and actions required Derived, awaiting review

  • goodDefined: a new good entered the catalogue with its initial definition.
  • variantIntroduced: a variant of an existing good was declared.
  • identifierAssigned: an identifier was issued for the good at a packaging level.
  • classificationRevised: the good moved within a classification scheme or a scheme revision re-coded it.
  • packagingChanged: the pack hierarchy or net content of the good changed.
  • batchReleased: a production batch was released into circulation.
  • batchRecalled: a batch was recalled from circulation.
  • goodDiscontinued: the good ceased to be offered as a market class.

Legacy events listed as state transitions.

Hazards and failure modes optional Missing, in the backlog

Not described yet. This gap is in the card backlog.

Standards and interfaces required Derived, awaiting review

  • catalogueSyndication: ongoing supply of good definitions, identifiers and pack data to trading partners and marketplaces.
  • identifierVerification: query contract answering whether an identifier is genuine, what good and level it names, and its status.
  • traceabilityDisclosure: batch-level disclosure to a named party (buyer, authority) for a stated purpose and period.
  • retailListingView: name, brand, variant, net content and consumer-level identifier; omits batches and case-level logistics data.
  • customsClassificationView: classification codes, origin and measures needed at borders; omits commercial description and variants.
  • traceabilityView: batches, their windows and recall status; omits catalogue marketing content.
