Anti-Trust
GS1 operates under the GS1 anti-trust caution. Strict compliance with anti-
trust laws is an always has been the policy of GS1.
The best way to avoid problems is to remember that the purpose of the
committee is to enhance the ability of all industry members to compete more
efficiently.
This means:
- There shall be no discussion of prices, allocation of customers, or products,
etc.
- If any participant believes the group is drifting toward impermissible
discussion, the topic shall be tabled until the opinion of counsel can be
obtained.
The full anti-trust caution is available at www.gs1.org

No ambition, no plan, no progress
We need to be ambitious to change the way we exchange data
Why?
- Data exchange is difficult due to national data models and different usage of
attributes
- Every data recipient needs a data set or at national level
- Trade is no longer national, our way of data exchange is outdated
- We need a mind shift and another way of working
What?
- GMD harmonises and simplifies the data we exchange, worldwide, regionally
How?
- Get industry, and GS1 and CGF together and implement

The GS1 Global Data Model
10
One product. One experience. Every
channel.
The GS1 Global Data Model helps leverage
product content for a seamless shopping
experience across every channel.
By simplifying and harmonising the exchange of product data
around the world, the GS1 Global Data Model standard
increases operational efficiency for brand owners and retailers
and improves data accuracy and completeness for consumers.

General update on the Global Data Model

The GS1 Global Data Model
Standard is the set of
foundational data attributes
that are needed to list, order,
move, store and sell products
18
© GS1 2020The Global Language of Business
To improve the omnichannel consumer experience, brand owners and retailers
should consider what truly differentiates and what can be standardised
WEBSITE
Product data is comprised of both foundational and
differentiated attributes
Foundational attributes can be harmonised to
enable timely, accurate, and consistent data exchange
for brand owners and retailers
Retailers and brand owners can shift focus to
designing differentiated consumer experiences
versus verifying data quality
Harmonised data will also unlock new opportunities
through advanced analytics
Foundational data is non-competitive in the
digital and physical retail environment
19
© GS1 2019The Global Language of Business
Overall, the Global Data Model will enable improved consumer experience and
will reduce complexity by harmonising foundational data across the industry
Simplified and
Harmonised
Global Data Model
(GDM)
Increased
transparency and
seamless
omnichannel
experience
Faster, easier,
cheaper
management and
exchange of
foundational data
Improve consumer
experience
Increase business
partner efficiencies
20
© GS1 2020The Global Language of Business
GDM uses the concept of layers to identify product attributes required for data
exchange
Global core layer
Comprised of attributes required across all product categories
Global category layer
Comprised of attributes
1
required only for a specific product category
(i.e., FMCG Food, DIY…), applicable at a global level
Regional category layer
Comprised of attributes
2
required only for a specific product
category, only for a specific region
Country layer
Comprised of attributes
3
required for a specific product category, only
for a specific location within a region
1 These attributes are mandatory or optional depending on the product subcategory (e.g. “Storage temperature” is mandatory for “Meat” subcategory, while it’s not mandatory for “Canned shelf stable products” subcategory)
2 These attributes are mandatory or optional depending on region (e.g. “Allergen statement” is mandatory in North America region due to regulatory requirements, while it’s not mandatory in other regions)
3 These attributes are mandatory or optional depending on country (e.g. “Packaging Material Quantity” is mandatory in some countries, while it’s not mandatory in others)
© GS1 2020
Categories covered by the standard
Current release covers the following retail categories:
FMCG Food & Near Food
Alcoholic beverages
Pet Food
Tobacco
Planning horizon:
The GS1 Advisory Council has encouraged the GDM team to plan the GDM
development for Non-Food categories, e.g. Cosmetics or Apparel in alignment with
the new Marketplaces Advisory Team.
21
The term "near-food products" refers to
drugstore products (e.g. skin care
products), but also cleaning agents, etc.
So products that are not food, but are still
offered by supermarkets because they
represent everyday consumer goods.

An INTERIM tool (until July 2021)
For Manufacturers, Retailers, MOs, DP,involved in
implementing Global Data Model.
Allows user to get a global, regional and local view on the
GDM.
Contains GDSN Information (Technical Properties - VRs
Code Lists Code Values) linked to GDM.
Search for information on attributes, categories, sub-
categories, regions, countries, validation rules, code lists,
code values and GPC Bricks.
It allows users to compare GDM Models, and manage (and
save) product profiles using all this combined information.

Data Quality is considered as high when it fits intended usage in Business Flows
Complete - Available
Accurate - Right First Time
Conforming - Aligned to business rules, e.g.
industry Standards
Consistent Aligned automatically across Flows &
IT platforms, internally and externally
Timely - Valid for defined time period, not obsolete
Not Duplicated - Reliable
Root causes of Data Quality Issues include:
Knowledge (e.g. Measure of physical product
incorrect or not aligned with external standards)
Lack of definitions result in inconsistent, non-
conforming and/or inaccurate data
Incorrect usage of Master Data within Flows/
Transactional data
Industry has recognized the criticality of data
quality, using common standards, among others:

Starting with GDSN
Get ambassadors e.g. CGF Data Coalition Companies
Establish GDSN working group
Use GDM as your data model

Attribute definitions
Make sure your local validation
rules are not in conflict with Global
Data Model.
Some conditions of conditionally
mandatory attributes might be
different from current local data
models.
Work in progress
Dividing codes into Global, Regional
and Local layers to „highlight“
important codes.
Better names and definitions where
Global/Regional codes are not clear.
Attribute Definitions for Business
- use these business friendly names
and definitions for GDM attributes.
There might be some changes e.g.
startAvailabilityDateTime:
- GDSN Definition: The date (CCYY-
MM-DDTHH:MM:SS) from which
the trade item becomes available
from the supplier, including
seasonal or temporary trade item
and services.
- ADB definition: The date/time the
product is first available to ship
from the seller or the service is
available.

Global Data Model Gap analysis
Result of gap analysis Global Data Model vs. BENELUX data model = 106 differences
Type of differences :
o New attributes that are not in the Benelux data model
o Attributes that will be removed and will no longer exist/are not included in GDM
o Difference between local fields and mandatory/conditional fields
o Different conditions for making an attribute mandatory
o Difference between optional, conditional or mandatory fields
o Change in definitions (broadening the conditions for the use of an attribute)
o Difference between BELU, NL and GDM

attributes to support new
model
2
Changes in current systems:
external interfaces, product
data systems, and operational
systems

Data cleansing and
adaptation for existing
GTINs
5
Training for changes due to
GDM across business
processes (e.g., for new
product data processes)
1 Any product data related transformations (broader than GDM scope) will need to align with GDM to ensure full impact
2 Not a one-time activity, therefore captured in calculator under changes to operational efficiencies (pink section)
