3 Relationship to EPCIS
This section specifies how the Core Business Vocabulary standard relates to the EPC Information Services (EPCIS) standard. 3.1 EPCIS Event Structure The EPCIS 1.1 standard [EPCIS1.1] specifies the data elements in an EPCIS event. The following lists these data elements, and indicates where the Core Business Vocabulary provides identifiers that may be used as values for those data elements. ●The “what” dimension The what dimension for most event types contains one or more unique identifiers for physical or digital objects or classes of physical or digital objects. ldentifiers for physical or digital objects in the Core Business Vocabulary are specified in Section 8.2 (instance-level) and Section 8.3 (class-level). In the case of an EPCIS TransformationEvent, an optional TransformationID may be used to link together multiple events that describe the same transformation. The Core Business Vocabulary includes TransformationlDs in Section 8.7. ●The“when”dlimension The moment in time at which an EPCIS event occurred. Event time is fully specified in the EPCIS standard. The“where”dlimension The “where” dimension consists of two identifiers that describe Vocabularies are used extensively within EPCIS to model conceptual, physical, and digital entities that exist in the real world. Examples of vocabularies defined in the EPCIS standard are business steps, dispositions, location identifiers, physical or digital object identifiers, business transaction type names, and business transaction identifiers. In each case, a vocabulary represents a finite (though open- ended) set of alternatives that may appear in specific fields of events. It is useful to distinguish two kinds of vocabularies, which follow different patterns in the way they are defined and extended over time: ●Standard Vocabulary A Standard Vocabulary is a set of Vocabulary Elements whose definition and meaning must be agreed to in advance by trading partners who will exchange events using the vocabulary. User Vocabulary A User Vocabulary is a set of Vocabulary Elements whose definition and meaning are under the control of a single organization. These concepts are explained in more detail below.
3.2.1 Standard Vocabulary
A Standard Vocabulary is a set of Vocabulary Elements whose definition and meaning must be agreed to in advance by trading partners who will exchange events using the vocabulary. For example, the EPCIS standard defines a vocabulary called“business step,” whose elements are identifiers denoting such things as“shipping,” “receiving,” and so on. One trading partner may generate an event having a business step of“shipping,” and another partner receiving that event through a query can interpret it because of a prior agreement as to what“shipping” means. Standard Vocabulary elements tend to be defined by organizations of multiple end users, such as GS1, industry consortia outside GS1, private trading partner groups, and so on. The master data associated with Standard Vocabulary elements, if any master data is defined at all, are defined by those same organizations, and tend to be distributed to users as part of a standard or by some similar means. New vocabulary elements within a given Standard Vocabulary tend to be introduced through a very deliberate and occasional process, such as the ratification of a new version of a standard or through a vote of an industry group. The Standard Vocabularies specified in the Core Business Vocabulary standard are: business steps (Section 7.1), dispositions (Section 7.2), business transaction types (Section 7.3), and source and destination types (Section 7 4). The elements and definitions are agreed to by parties prior to exchanging data, and there is general agreement on their meaning. Example: the following is a business step identifier defined in Section 7.1 herein: urn:epcglobal:cbv:bizstep:receiving This identifier is defined by the GS1 Core Business Vocabulary standard, and its meaning is known and accepted by those who implement the standard. While an individual end user organization acting alone may introduce a new Standard Vocabulary element, such an element would have limited use in a data exchange setting, and would probably only be used within an organization’s four walls. On the other hand, an industry consortium or other group of trading partners may define and agree on standard vocabulary
