Master Data

Master Data is the core information about the "who" and "what" in a trading relationship. The "who" can include the name, address and identification codes of the buyer and seller plus details of shipping, delivery and billing locations. The "what" is product information such as product name, description, size and barcode number.

There are 4 key GS1 resources within Master Data:

  • The Global Location Number (GLN) Registry
  • The GDSN Package Measurement Standards
  • The GDSN Data Quality Framework
  • The Global Data Synchronisation Network (GDSN)
